For the past seven years, it has been one thing to drive by Steveston High and talk about the myriad of consequences from its closure, but to finally see its bricks and mortar vanish is certainly another.
Pictured is long-time Steveston Secondary music teacher Len Kay sounding a dignified Last Post before the gymnasium and music and drama rooms meet their fate.
‘Beyond the daily classes, many events were held herein, where students, faculty, staff, alumni, community, and special guests assembled to enjoy, to celebrate, to contemplate, and to honour the gamut of scholastic endeavours and achievements,’ Kay told the Richmond News.
Kay noted past principal Bob Carkner’s annual Remembrance Day address: ‘Here and now we honour the past, engage the present, and build the future.’
The future of the site is a 133-unit townhouse development.
