St. Michael's students remember fallen heroes

Toronto's St. Michael’s College School remembered the soldiers who died protecting Canada with a ceremony, Nov 11.

After a procession in which the Canadian flag, a book of remembrance, and wreaths were carried to the front of the gymnasium, students watched video clips of veterans as they reflected on their experiences and observed a moment of silence. Captain Frank Lamie ’98 of the 48th Highlanders of Canada addressed the students at 11:00 a.m., discussing his experiences in Afghanistan, and the importance of gratitude for Canada’s men and women in uniform.

Following the ceremony, students carried the images of the 158 soldiers who died in the Afghanistan war to the school’s front lawn.
