Prince George student wins huge National contest
PRINCE GEORGE – 18 year old Westside Academy student Antonia Tannert Von Baer is this year’s Royal Canadian Legion National Youth Remembrance Contest. Among tens of thousands of submissions featuring essays, poems, artwork, and more, her essay titled “A Day for Reflection on the Past, Present, and Future” has been selected as the national contest winner.
“I was awestruck, I was like ‘wow, this is amazing.’ It’s so special because so many people write an essay or a poem, and then to win that nationally, to see the recognition for the work and effort I put into that essay, it’s really amazing,” she said.
