Lacombe Globe — Two recent high school grads will be remembered in history as some of Alberta’s greatest kids.

Deryck Reade and Colin Jay Wibers are two of Alberta’s 100 Great Kids, a distinction the Province formally recognized during an unveiling of a special wall of honour at the Legislature on Dec. 6.

The wall, part of Alberta’s centennial celebrations, recognizes the 100 winners of the Great Kids Award given out by the province annually since 2000. The awards are given to youth between five and 18 for their outstanding volunteer contributions to their communities, their efforts in school and at home.

'I am very proud of these dynamic young Albertans,' said Premier Ralph Klein. 'They are one of the province’s finest attributes and a very positive indicator of its strength and vitality. As we celebrate Alberta’s centennial, it’s good to know the future of our province is in great hands.' "
