The parade was just one of the events celebrating the class that managed to make it through a trying pandemic year. Kicking off a virtual graduation 小蓝视频 that was posted on Facebook, Tracy Forsythe delivered her last speech as principal at KCI.

The students choose a quote by Robert F. Kennedy as a theme for their graduating year;
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly.”
The virtual 小蓝视频 included congratulations and words of inspiration from Director of Education, Quentin Robertson; Good Spirit School Division Board Trustee Member, Mrs. Jaime Johnston; The Honorable Dustin Duncan Saskatchewan Education Minister; The Honorable Russ Mirasty, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan; Cote First Nation Chief George Cote, and KCI teacher Ryan Gareau.
Valedictorian, Nicholas Bielecki, delivered a speech to his classmates and faculty, followed by an introduction to Mrs. Joanne Schwartz, a KCI teacher who was invited to be the guest speaker.
The virtual presentation included a pre-recorded video of each student walking a stage, picking up their certificate, and moving their graduation cap tassels.
