Family holds backyard graduation ceremony
Backyard grads - Graduating from high school is an amazing event in the life of a young person. This year the COVID-19 pandemic has caused the postponement of traditional graduation ceremonies, so Paul and Alison Tomlin thought of another way of celebrating. The Tomlins decided to have a graduation in their backyard for their son and three of his friends. Centre Wellington District High School vice principal Albert Boutin officiated at the ceremony, with family and friends watching. From left: Connor Tomlin, Lucas Mason, Noah Gavin and Nick Hill.
