The Conexus Arts Centre in Regina is serving up a way for the class of 2020 to still celebrate despite convocation and dinner cancellations due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The venue is offering a special graduation package on June 12 and 13, which allows up to two guests at a time for a professional grad photo before they receive a takeout meal from executive chef Leo Pantel. “It’s really a stepping stone for people’s lives – moving on from school to university, technical school, wherever – it’s a celebratory time that really stands out in people’s lives,” Pantel said.
The veteran chef said university convocation would have taken place this week, with high school graduation and dinners toward the end of June.
