EDMONTON -- Hundreds of students gathered at Beechmount Cemetery Monday morning for the annual No Stone Left Alone ceremony.
The annual Remembrance gathering is one of dozens that will take place across Canada leading up to Remembrance Day on Nov. 11.
Students placed poppies on veterans' headstones and took a moment to reflect on their service.
"So many people sacrificed their lives to help the country that we live in," said Grade 6 student Connor Newman. "They fought for something that people today are still fighting for, just thinking about that made me really appreciate what they did even more."
More than 9,000 students participated in 2018, honouring veterans in 105 cemeteries across the country.
