While his job was to keep the school hallways clean, his impact went beyond that – it touched the lives of the students who walked in them.
On Wednesday, staff and students at Oak Park High School in Winnipeg celebrated the career of longtime trustee Carrie Laing.
After 20 years at Oak Park High School, Laing retired – but not before the students could send him a proper send-off. On Wednesday, the school surprised Liang with a special meeting in his honor, complemented by an impromptu throne and applause.
The school recognizes Laing’s contribution over the past two decades.
Oak Park High School principal Troy Scott told CTV News that Laing – himself a graduate of Oak Park – embodied the school’s values of respect, positivity and community.
“The Golden Standard Guardian, an amazing human being, a Raider legend,” Scott said on Twitter.
Scott said Laing would be remembered at school for always helping with a smile on his face.
