Some of our running route today took us through some of PEI's picturesque farmland with its famous red soil.
We received a very warm welcome from the students and staff at Parkdale School.
At every ceremony we invite the students and staff to take a moment of silence to feel peace in their hearts.
The staff treated the students to a mini torch relay right there in the gym!
Michelle McCabe received the Torch Bearer award in a short but touching ceremony on the eve of her retirement. She is clearly a dedicated person committed to the wellbeing of all the students at Parkdale.
