          In 2013, Shuke Amelia Jiang won the National second place and provincial first place of Junior color poster. It was a regret two students' posters with great potential to win were disqualified because of not filling the branches' number and address in the application form. Emily Yu, as a former student, won the provincial second place of senior color poster.

           We didn't take part in the contest in 2015. Every body needs a break😇
            Several students were trying to join the contest last year. As you can see from my previous post, the achievements of our students are amazing! Five students won the provincial first place in eight categories. three of them won national second place and one of them won national honorable mention (third place).
             The Legion encourages schools to have their students take part in the longstanding tradition of the annual Poster and Literary Contests. Canadian school children participate by submitting art and poetry that convey their own unique ideas of Remembrance. Every year, the participants are around 100,000. If your children are interested in this contest, you are welcome to our school to talk to Ms. Tang. The artist will teach you the skill from basic to advance to represent your creative ideas on paper. You might be the next winner in this poster contest.
