Lindsay Thurber celebrates dual birthdays as diverse and persevering
A ceremony held Wednesday at Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School celebrated the school’s 70th birthday, Canada’s 150th birthday as well as National Aboriginal Day.
Dignitaries were led in to the ceremony by The Powwow Times Dance Troupe.
As a part of the celebration, one student from each grade was chosen to contribute an item to a time capsule set to be opened fifty years from now.
Grade 9 student, Yoab Anbesa chose to put in a baggie of notes from her classmates, a fidget spinner, and a small photo book of things that were key in 2017. Some of the photos included the government officials, the Carbon Tax, the iPhone 7 trend, and Thurber’s 70th birthday.
