Legion Literacy and Poster Winners announced
Submitted by Kim Walker
Vice-President, Royal Canadian Legion #208 in Oyen
Every year the Royal Canadian Legion has a literacy and poster contest during Remembrance Day, where kids from K to grade 12 can write a poem, essay, a black and white poster or coloured poster.
Although this year our number of entries were down (88 total entries) we had some amazing posters come for us to judge.
Judging is done on multiple levels... First branch level, then the 1st place winners are judged at District level, from there all the 1st place winners go to Command, and then National. With the National winners getting an offer to come to Ottawa.
We did not have any National winners this year, but we did, however, have 1 go all the way and take 1st place at Command.
Making the presentations was Imogene Hauck, Secretary-Treasurer of the Auxiliary to Royal Canadian Legion #208.
