On Remembrance Day, Saint Oscar Romero Catholic Secondary School paid tribute to Canadian military members, with special recognition for alumnus Daniel Mendes-Bernardo, a Royal Canadian Navy Reservist and Sailor 1st Class. Daniel, a proud Romero graduate, has completed two international deployments, serving in the Caribbean in 2022 and the Baltic Sea in 2023.
In a distinguished honor, Daniel was one of only 25 sailors selected to represent the Royal Canadian Navy in the UK for the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic. Beyond his service, Daniel also volunteers with the Toronto Police Service, recently assisting Romero students in organizing a TPS Bike Rodeo event.
