From left, Xander Gervais, Ethan Junk, Mari Lemieux and Callie Smith participated in a grad parade.

There was a very nice, small parade in Alida on June 23 for the Grade 12 students who have family and friends in Alida.

The parade began around 7:30 p.m. from the rink, led by one Alida Fire Truck and followed by our four Grade 12 graduates in their grad apparel walking directly behind this truck. They were followed by a number of vintage vehicles driven by the owners, and Alida’s second fire truck brought up the rear.

They went down Prairie Avenue to Centre Street, turned to the right hand side of the boulevard and at #361, made a u-turn and came back down Centre Street on the left side to the end of street. Then they made another U-turn, returned to the centre intersection and then posed for pictures and visited with everyone.

There was a very nice turnout of family and friends who came to watch. This is very awesome way to celebrate and honour our graduates. Good luck and best wishes, grads, in your future endeavours.     

Sincerest sympathy is extended to Dianne Lemieux, her son Michael and his family on the death of Dianne’s husband Ernest Lemieux, who passed away on June 19 at the age of 79 at the Redvers Health Centre.

Condolences are passed on to other family members as well. A private family graveside service will be held at a later date. Michael Lemieux of Lloydminster is spending a few days with his mother at this time.

On June 16, Gary and Brenda Junk travelled to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, where they toured the hills before heading to Calgary, where they spent June 17 and 18 watching their grandsons Jaxson and Chase Junk play ball. Then they headed onto Sylvan Lake, Alta., where they attended a family pre-grad celebration in honour of Jaxson’s Grade 12 graduation. Present were family members Jody, Jill and boys, as well as Kara and daughter Morgan.
