Celebrating Retirees in LRSD - December 2025

At the Louis Riel School Division, we value the lifetime of dedication our retiring colleagues have brought to our schools and broader community. Each December and June, we reflect on their remarkable journeys, acknowledging not just the roles they held, but the countless lives they touched and the wisdom they shared along the way.
