- The event included prayers, honour songs, a grand entry, dancing, and invited evacuated Grade 12 students to celebrate alongside local Indigenous graduates.
- Rob Riel, assistant superintendent, stated they were being “good neighbours” to prevent youth from missing this milestone and invited all to join a healing round dance.
- The ceremony marked a collective success honoring ancestors and resilience while hoping evacuees can celebrate again once allowed to return home.
