FRENCH CONNECTION: Congratulations 2023 graduates

Congratulations to the 226 young people who graduated from Williams Lake Senior Secondary school in Williams last weekend. I didn’t go to the ceremony, but I did see the parade and it was a good one. From all accounts I heard the ceremony was also a good one. No horses in the parade this year but a goodly number of paraders had bubble guns and the bubbles wafting around the floats was a nice touch. AND it didn’t rain on the parade.
