The recent ice storm caused many people in our area to deal with damage and to be without hydro. Emmanuel Christian High School fared very well, with the exception of our Canadian Flag. Not only did it emerge tattered, but our pole was damaged in such a way that we were unable to replace our flag without the assistance of heavy machinery.

On the same day we had a skyjack available to us, we had a surprise visit from the Honourable Robert Black, who noticed our tattered flag and thoughtfully brought us a new one to replace it. Our thanks to him for his kindness as we once again proudly fly our nation’s flag.
