Calgary’s class of 2020 may not be able to experience a traditional graduation ceremony this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but a group of parents has come together to arrange a unique way high school students can cross the stage this summer.
In March, all in-person classes at schools across the province were cancelled, and on April 16, the Calgary Board of Education announced that all graduation ceremonies and celebrations would also be axed — a notion that didn’t sit well with one parent. “We really need them to be the class of 2020, not the class of COVID-19,” Keri Miller said in an interview with 770 CHQR.
