Walk into the library at D.P. Todd and you'll see a projection of a soldier surrounded by names slowly appearing and disappearing.

The display began on November 4 and by the Remembrance Day arrives this Thursday, the names of a full 68,000 Canadians soldiers, sailors, airmen, nurses, doctors and merchant seamen who died in the First World War will have been displayed.

If that wasn't enough, the same procession is being carried out simultaneously in 150 schools across Canada as well as three in Belgium.

No wonder that when Pearl Loerke, in the school's leadership program, came across the idea, she knew it was a must for D.P. Todd.
