The Number 2 Construction Battalion

On July 5, 1916, the department of defence authorized the formation of number 2 construction battalion. It was the first and largest Black unit in Canadian history. Over 600 soldiers from across Canada and the Caribbean showed unrelenting courage and perseverance to enlist and serve their country in the face of racism, prejudice, and hate. The following is “The Black Soldier’s Lament”, a poem in honour of their bravery and sacrifice.

Library Segment Synam reads

Welcome to another report from the library,

Do you love books? Are you looking for volunteering opportunities to add to your resumé? Ms. Briar welcomes any student willing to use their free time to help out at the library. After a brief training period, some things you can help with could be shelving books, organising sections, coming up with ideas for displays, organising activities such as a NKEC book club, and more. Grade 12s can use their free periods to help out, while others can pop in at lunch or recess. You can put this fun experience on your CV and use Ms. Briar as a reference for job applications. Feel free to stop by the library today if you have any further questions.

Hope to see you soon.
