The third annual South Delta Drum Festival was held on November 17, 2019, at the Genesis Theatre in Ladner. 

 

The Festival featured some of the industry’s best drummers. DSS students supported the event by assisting with staging. A variety of types and styles of drums were on display and played.

 

Featured performers/instructors included Craig Scott (big band and jazz drumming), Julia Geaman (metal drumming) and Mike Michalkow (drum set artistry).

 

Festival organizer Rick Klemm said, “We have more sponsors this year, the Ladner Rotary Club donated funds, which is very kind of them, so it’s going really well,”

Remembrance Day, a national and international memorial to the millions of men and women in military service who lost their lives or were wounded in wars over the past 100+ years, was observed by Rotary Club of Ladner in advance of the actual day on November 11, 2019. To mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the hostilities of the First World War ended, Ladner Rotarians will march in the Remembrance Day parade through Ladner to join those from many organizations and Delta residents at the cenotaph in Memorial Park.
