The day dozens of Grade 12 students have been waiting for, for 13 years, but the day that is dreaded by most parents – graduation day – has arrived in Unity.
Tomorrow, Unity Composite High School students will enter the hallowed halls of their school for the last time as they are honoured for graduation. Each student will be celebrated for the contributions, personalities, legacies and success stories they will be leaving at UCHS. Following the school portion of the graduation ceremonies, students have the afternoon with their families before heading to the community centre for the social part of the evening.
Congratulations to all the graduates of 2015 and may your future be bright and everything you dreamed of.

Ball season will soon be heading into provincial playoffs. Teams have worked all season at fine-tuning their teams to take part in upcoming provincial championships throughout our province. Both baseball and softball divisions will head into July hoping to capture, or repeat, a provincial title. Ball in Unity has been successful, year after year adding to the provincial title vault and hopes are high for another round of success in 2015.

Keep that museum in mind when hosting friends and family. In their 35th anniversary year, they are hoping to continue enthusiasm for this fine facility so it will continue on in our community for generations to come.
With so many long-time, dedicated volunteers that keep this venue in the pristine condition we are accustomed to, why not show your appreciation by visiting the museum. Volunteer some time to help with the many projects that are no longer an option for some of their aging members and bring your friends and family to see all there is at our museum. And make sure you take part in the annual Canada Day festivities coming up July 1.
