North Battleford seemed determined this month to meet Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi’s poetry challenge issued to cities across Canada. Monday’s council meeting marked the second time this month poetry was read at North Battleford council.
The theme of the poems read Monday was similar, as they focused on the horrors of the Holocaust and the Nazi era. Seen from left to right are Jenna Humenny, Daly Haas, Katie Rathwell and Caitlyn Sequeira, all North Battleford Comprehensive High School students who read poetry.
Jenna’s reading was Untitled Sonnet, Daly read Living Horror, Caitlyn read Human Book by Shianne Milles and Katie read Holocaust Survivor -Heidi Fried.
Afterwards the students were presented with books on North Battleford history by Mayor Ian Hamilton.
