Jarvis Public School Remembers

The staff and students at Jarvis Public School made their annual Remembrance Day visit to Knox Presbyterian Church’s cemetery on November 11, 2016.

The cemetery contains the graves of 12 commonwealth airmen and soldiers that died during training at a nearby airfield during World War II.

During the ceremony the student’s in Mr. Milmine’s grade 7 class read the names of the airmen aloud as students placed flags and carnations at each head stone.

Doug Ouellette, principal of the school said, "Having a chance to visit the cemetery adds a unique element to our Remembrance Day service giving students a direct connection with local history and the sacrifice made by so many."
