NKEC Visual Arts 

A little while back our own Titan artist, Olivia Felker, received an award for her Remembrance Day art piece, winning first place out of all the entries in the province. After that, her piece moved on to the national competition. Yesterday, we received word that Olivia won 2nd place in the ENTIRE COUNTRY! Her piece will be displayed at Parliament Hill in Ottawa during the 2-week Remembrance Day memorial in November later this year. This is a huge honour for Olivia and for our school. If you see Olivia in the hall, make sure to tell her how awesome she is! Congrats Olivia!

Trans Day of Visibility

Today, our school is proudly observing the Transgender Day of Visibility, a day dedicated to recognizing and honouring the transgender community. In solidarity, we'll be flying the trans pride flag. It's crucial to acknowledge that transgender individuals have faced significant discrimination and obstacles, and today serves as a reminder to see them as valued members of our community, and celebrate their successes. To shed more light on the importance of trans visibility and acceptance, we have a video prepared. Let's come together to support and uplift our transgender peers today and every day.
