Our PAC AGM will be on September 22 @ 5:30 in the AJSH Library



Deadline: Sept 25 @ 5:00 pm



Fifty students from Lakeland Catholic travelled to Edmonton to participate in From Roots We Rise: A Youth Gathering 2026 at the Edmonton EXPO Centre.
Hosted as part of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) programming, the gathering centred on the theme Good Health and Wellbeing, encouraging students to explore balance across physical, spiritual, emotional and mental wellness while deepening their understanding of Indigenous cultures, histories and lived experiences.
A deeply moving part of the gathering was The Red Scroll Memorial, a 50-metre red fabric banner unveiled by the NCTR and inscribed with the names of 2,800 Indigenous children who died in residential schools. The memorial honours the children who never came home. Our students approached this experience with reverence and respect as they gathered at the memorial and listened to the lived experiences shared by Residential School Survivors.
Throughout the day, students experienced Indigenous culture, community and storytelling through music and dance. Hosted by Mimi O’Bonsawin and Lance Cardinal, the gathering featured Neon Dreams, Julian Taylor, the Stoney Bear Singers, the Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers and Northern Cree, the internationally recognized powwow and Round Dance group founded in 1982 by brothers from Saddle Lake.
Between main-stage sessions, students explored activities throughout the concourse, including a Jumpstart Celebrity Meet & Greet with Olympic snowboarder Liam Gill and former NHL player and Stanley Cup Champion Jordan Nolan.
As a Catholic school community, we are called to listen with humility, honour the dignity of every person and seek truth as we continue the important work of reconciliation. Opportunities such as this allow our students to learn directly from Indigenous voices and experiences, strengthen understanding and carry those lessons forward in their schools and communities.
We are incredibly proud of our students for the respect, thoughtfulness and maturity they demonstrated throughout the gathering and for their commitment to listening, learning and walking together in reconciliation.

At Lakeland Catholic, we believe that every person is created in the image and likeness of God. That means everyone deserves dignity, kindness, respect, and a sense of belonging. Together, students learned and practised practical ways to ensure our school is a safe, inclusive, and caring environment for all.
This powerful learning directly connects to our Division Faith Theme:
“Let all that you do be done with love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14
A Special Thank You! 🙏
We extend our deepest gratitude to Lisa, Paola, and Oksana from Action for Healthy Communities for creating this wonderful presentation and speaking so impactfully to our youth. We also want to thank Sherry Depner, our Coordinator of Student Support and Wellness, for serving as the vital liaison between this incredible organization and our schools.
Thank you to our community partners, staff, and Grade 7 students for leading with love and building a community where everyone belongs! 💙
