The Grande Prairie branch of the Royal Canadian Legion has announced a call for local schoolchildren to create artwork in honor of Remembrance Day. Due to a recent teacher’s strike, the Legion has seen a lack of submissions this year, prompting this outreach. Normally, students contribute creative pieces such as posters, poems, and essays, which are evaluated and recognized on November 11.

The Legion encourages students to engage in this important tradition by submitting artwork that reflects the theme of remembrance. Parents and guardians can find entry forms and submission guidelines on the Legion’s social media platforms.
