Join the community in celebrating the Parkland Secondary School Class of 2026 as graduating students take part in the annual Grad Walk through downtown Sidney.
Beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 23, graduates will make their way along Beacon Avenue from Fourth Street to Beacon Park, where family members, friends, local businesses, residents, and visitors are invited to line the route and cheer them on as they mark this important milestone.
The Grad Walk has become a meaningful community tradition, providing an opportunity for graduates to be recognized and celebrated beyond the walls of their school. Dressed in their graduation attire, students will be welcomed by the community as they reflect on their accomplishments, friendships, and experiences while looking ahead to the exciting opportunities that await them.
This special event highlights the strong connection between Parkland Secondary School and the broader Saanich Peninsula community. From their early school years to graduation day, many of these students have grown up in Sidney and the surrounding area, making the Grad Walk a proud moment not only for the graduates themselves but also for the families, teachers, mentors, and community members who have supported them along the way.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to arrive early, find a spot along Beacon Avenue, and help create an unforgettable send-off for the graduating class. Whether you know a graduate personally or simply want to celebrate the achievements of local youth, your applause and encouragement help make this day even more memorable.
The Grad Walk is a wonderful reminder of the strength, resilience, and potential of the next generation, and an opportunity for the community to come together in recognition of their hard work and success.
Congratulations to the Parkland Secondary School Class of 2026. The entire community looks forward to celebrating this exciting achievement with you.
