Legion members, local dignitaries, and community members attended the Airdrie Cenotaph for a wreath laying ceremony in honour of Queen Elizabeth II on Sept. 19.

“It was essentially created to bring the neighbourhood of Bayside together,” Spearman said. “This year, I would say we easily had over 200 attendees, which was awesome.”

“We’re really fundraising to help each other, and it takes a village. All money raised goes to help support and enhance otherwise unfunded needs that we have in Airdrie.”

Spearman, who is the chair of the City’s Arts and Culture Assessment Committee, said the group is working towards forming a long-term permanent partnership or conglomeration to help drive local artist initiatives, including a month celebrating arts and culture in the community.

"This activity is an example of how students demonstrate making a positive difference in their life, school, community and the world – one of the outcomes in our four-year education plan," read the press release. 

“It’s a massive job and they put on an amazing event and take a real passion giving artists a platform somewhere to be seen and feel special,” McKearney added.

“She was a deeply-loved queen and so they truly are grieving the loss of their [monarch].”

Executive director of AFB Lori McRitchie accepted the $10,000 donation in front of the entrance to Cooper's Crossing on Sept. 12.
