A 4th-grade student at Whitmore School was awarded 1st prize provincially in a Canadian Legion literary contest.
Austin Luke wrote a poem centred on Remembrance Day and submitted it to the Canadian Legion last fall. Austin’s poem beat out all other 4th and 5th grade students in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. As part of her award, Austin received $50.
Now, Austin’s poem will be sent to Ottawa to compete against the other regional winners to declare a national winner.
The national winner will be invited to celebrate Remembrance Day this year in Ottawa as well as $250.00
