Barriere may be a small rural community, but those who live, work, and play here have a big heart. The May 23, Barriere Secondary graduation ceremonies saw a whopping $50,000 handed to the grads via annual scholarships and bursaries.
This is an amazing dollar amount for a graduating class of 33 individuals. All who help to finance these scholarships and bursaries each year are to be commended for giving our students a financial “helping hand” as they pursue the education required for their chosen careers.
