Good morning, Peak readers

Photo feature of the day, a day in history and today's weather

Happy Tuesday!

The Peak reached into its archives for today’s photo, or in this case, photos, which feature the dual grad classes from Max Cameron Secondary School and Brooks Secondary School in 1997. Graduates from both schools were honoured during a combined ceremony at Powell River Recreation Complex 25 years ago today.

To submit a photo for Photo of the Day consideration, send it via email to editor@prpeak.com with the subject line “Photo of the Day.” Remember to include where and when you took the picture, what it is and your name (we want to give you credit). Horizontal photos are preferred.
