No way, 15 brave North Star Academy (NSA) students told their teachers, after the terror attacks initially led the high school to kibosh their Nov. 11 trip to Ottawa. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur history teacher wanted to take our students to the National War Memorial in Ottawa, to mark the 100th anniversary of the outset of World War I,\u201d NSA principal Jos\u00e9e P\u00e9pin told <i>The Suburban.<\/i> \u201cIt was to be our first trip there. We cancelled it, though, after the soldiers were killed in St. Jean sur Richelieu and Ottawa.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur students came to us afterward and told us that they wanted to take a stand,\u201d she said in an interview. \u201cThey persuaded us that there was no better way than to lead by example and go. So we did.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The school reversed its position and the students\u2019 parents also supported their children. They signed fresh waivers to acknowledge that they understood and accepted the potential risk that the trip now entailed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur students are Catholic, Muslim, Protestant and Orthodox, but they all went there together with a single vision: We love Canada and we will stand by our country,\u201d P\u00e9pin said. <\/p>\n<p>She added that security was tight for the ceremony with at three to four observers and snipers atop at least six buildings, which included a low-level flypast by Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 jets, each student left their poppy on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier to honour our fallen soldiers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we saw brought home the reality,\u201d P\u00e9pin concluded. \u201cIt gave us the chills to sense what war might be like. One of our students said \u2018it\u2019s remarkable how 50,000 people can remain silent all at once and that we can be united as a country.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/rf.podcastfixit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/141111-North-Star-Academy-students-Remembrance-Day-ceremony-National-War-Memorial-Ottawa-1024x768.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/rf.podcastfixit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/141111-North-Star-Academy-students-Remembrance-Day-ceremony-National-War-Memorial-Ottawa-1024x768.jpg\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<b>Fifteen fearless teens told teachers to take them to National War Memorial ceremony, Nov. 11.
