On May 6, nine-year-old Ashcroft student Kaylee Kennedy was presented with a certificate and cheque for $100 from the Royal Canadian Legion BC/Yukon Command, for her award-winning entry in the Legion’s annual Remembrance Day poster contest. In 2015 more than 7,000 entries were received from students across B.C. and the Yukon, in colour, black-and-white, and literature categories. Kaylee’s black-and-white poster won first place in Ashcroft and then Kamloops, and was third provincially out of more than 2,000 entries in the category. It’s the first time a local student has placed so highly in the contest.
