NOVEMBER 10, 2025
DEAR ALL SAINTS FAMILIES,
Tomorrow we pause to reflect on the immense sacrifices made by the brave members of our armed forces—past and present—who have served or continue to serve our country. This day holds deep significance in teaching our students the values of courage, peace, and gratitude. Our school will be observing Remembrance Day with a special ceremony to ensure our students understand the importance of this solemn occasion. We encourage you to take time tomorrow to share stories and reflections with your family about the meaning of "Lest We Forget."
IN THIS UPDATE:
The All Saints Remembrance Day ceremony will be taking place on Tuesday, November 11 (tomorrow). As per All Saints tradition, students are asked to wear a Black top and blue jeans. A poppy will be provided the day of the ceremony to each student and parents are encouraged to donate to the Poppy campaign through School Cash Online. All donations will be sent to the Kanata Legion.

The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development is hosting Level-Up, a career fair highlighting the many professional opportunities in the skilled trades.
Level Up is a free, engaging and interactive public event for students, parents and community members. A number of students from All Saints will attend the event during the day on December 10th. Parents are invited to attend on December 10th from 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the EY Centre.
When thinking about what happens after high school, you might want to consider the skilled trades as a career path.
Skilled trades professionals are in high demand across Ontario, with well-paid, stable and flexible career opportunities.
Level Up! is an opportunity to learn about what is available in the skilled trades and get hands-on experience of what some of the exciting careers in the skilled trades are like.
Level Up! is not specific to one industry and welcomes any student interested in the diverse range of skilled trades professions, regardless of their background.
