Parkland students, families
host Quebec youngsters

* parkland’ students and their families
hosted some 25 students from. Cabano,
Quebec, recently, ‘the exchange between the
two communities. being the final portion of
an Open. House Canada exchange program
which saw Parkland students first visiting
Quebec back in late March.

A. great deal of time was allowed for
families and guest billets to develop more
than _Superficial acquaintances here in the
Sidney area. A schedule of events around
the local area gave guests (as well as some
Parkland students) an opportunity to see and
experience the geography, economy, people
and weather of the region.

Ferry rides, a day-long trip to Vancouver,
a cruise by Canadian Navy boats around
Victoria Inner Harbor, 4 visit to Butchart
Gardens, and a spectacular afternoon in the
sun and sand at Sidney Spit were just a few
of the activities youngsters enjoyed.

Many Sidney families and. businesses, as :

well as agencies of the provincial and federal
governments, were involved and helpful in
promoting the exchange. Teachers and

- organizers at Parkland school are grateful
for the. breadth and depth of community
support — the success of the exchange was
possible only with the active support and
participation of many people.

There are numerous ways to measure the
worth of an exchange such as this in terms of
linguistics, says a school spokesman.
Parkland students capitalized on every
opportunity possible; their parents and

teachers are proud of the initiative and

prowess shown in speaking French. Students
and families from both Cabano and Sidney
learned firsthand there are many people of
goodwill and good actions, and that lesson
‘can only strengthen a sense of national unity.

In terms of being good hosts and com-
panions, Parkland students showed a

hospitality and involvement that was ad- |

mirable.

Such a reception enjoyed by the students
from Cabano should go a long way toward
creating positive, harmonious feelings
between the two communities even though
they are separated by some 2,500 miles.
