It’s time to show your Canadian pride, WRDSB fam. We are creating a brand new O Canada video – and we want you to be the star.
You can be a part of a brand new national anthem video that will showcase the amazing talents of our students, teachers and parents.
We want to give you a chance to share your talent in this unique project by singing the national anthem for us to edit into a video that we can use for public board committee meetings, Remembrance Day, system leaders meetings and many more events.
So, grab a bunch of Timbits, your warmest wool sweaters, and your friendliest neighbourhood Moose and have some fun! We are an extremely diverse school district and we want YOU to showcase that.
Record a video, in landscape, of you or a group singing O Canada in English or French. You can record the video on a computer, tablet, phone or hand-held camera.
Here’s what we think would look great:
You can upload your video using our online video submission page or through our Facebook page.
