KEHEWIN – The 2021 graduating class from Kehewin Community Education Centre were bold, courageous, and did their best during their ceremony. 

The June 24 graduation ceremony marked the first since Kehewin Cree Nation opened their new school, which will have a grand opening ceremony during the next school year. 

The graduates accepted their diplomas in front of their friends and family outside on the warm summer day.
