We are now about 12 hours away from our journey into the Great White North. Can you believe it is almost here.
We started this journey 9 months ago with 36 students...then 70 students...and now to our final 47! We have had many changes to our delegation, to the leadership team and to information we have been given...and you have all rolled with it.
We have learned how to be Ambassadors. We have learned about Canada. We have learned about the United States. Now it is time to put all that new found knowledge to use.
We will start our journey in Vancouver and Victoria in British Columbia where we will meet with members or Parliament - we even get to eat in their "special" eatery. We will get to go whale watching looking for orcas.
From there we will start our journey to Alberta - stopping along the way. Meeting people from the First Nation. Challenging ourselves on a ropes course in the forest. We will learn about the wildlife of Canada.
Once we make our way to Alberta, we will learn about the dinosaurs and go on a dig in the Badlands. We will meet with world-recognized paleontologists. We will play on glaciers that have been around for millions of years. We will go to Olympic stadium and try our hands at some Olympic events.
We will challenge ourselves. We will grow through broadening our horizons as we become citizens of this world we live in.
Again, thank you for entrusting us with your students. We are looking forward to the best time in Canada.
How was your first day Nicole?
