Canadian Flag: West Jet and Youth Revolution

canadian flag: The sun came out just in time for the kids to unroll the flag for an audience of trustees, principals, teachers and community members, marking a successful project that started in Calgary, according to Brandon Sun. In October, Youth Revolution was chosen by West Jet Cares for Kids to attend We Day in Calgary, and about 13 Vincent Massey students flew to the festivities. Youth Revolution students from Vincent Massey High School and J.R. Reid School unveiled their custom designed Canadian flag on Tuesday, decorated with visual reminders of the different acts of citizenship they took part in together. While we were there, Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi was onstage and he said to the whole stadium, I really encourage all of you to do acts of citizenship in honour of Canada's 150,' and it really resonated with our group, said Patricia Redekop, Vincent Massey teacher and Youth Revolution teacher-leader. We talked about reconciliation, youth, environment, diversity and inclusion and what that all means, Redekop said. The students decided to pair up with their neighbouring school, J.R. Reid, walking over every couple of weeks to partner with the younger students and talk about what citizenship means. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
