COVID can’t cancel school spirit of Haldimand Norfolk

To The Haldimand Press

HALDIMAND—The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a lot of cancelled plans as it’s changed the ways we’re able to safely connect with each other. In Grand Erie, the cancellation of fall fairs was a blow to the longstanding traditions and togetherness that so many students and staff look forward to each year. The cancellation of the Caledonia Fair, and its High School Challenge for Grade 12 students in particular, left a void. But it gave Viktorija Todorovic, a Grade 12 student at Dunnville Secondary School, a great idea.

“Coming into Grade 12, there were so many events and activities I was excited about being a part of that ended up needing to be cancelled, and I thought others were likely missing these events as well,” said Todorovic. “I felt it was important to bring in some sense of community, and friendly, fun competition to brighten students’ days.”
