Was a pool which we really app-
reciated) The weather had been
beautiful - warm and sonny. The
students in Montreal said that
before our arrival had rained
continuously.
We really enjoyed Quebec
City. It is much more beaut-
iful and clean than Montreal. It
has ParkS which reminded us of
Ottawa.
On Friday we- visited Quebec
provincial parliament. Here,
also we ate dinner, looking very
much at home,
We left Quebec City at 6;30
that evening and returned to
Montreal. The next two days
were unscheduled so our hosts
and hostesses took us to La.
Ronde, different parks and bea-
ches, to their cottages and var-
ious other places of interest
around their city.
On the first Tuesday in
Montreal we were officially Wel-
comed by M. Masse the organ-
izer of the young Voyageurs in
Montreal, and received Quebec
flags. The Montreal hosts and
hostesses were given. Ontario

plane ride though it was brief
and we boarded a bus at Tor-
onto Which took us to Clinton,
We emerged singingfroM the bus;
a group of boisterous noisy
friends.
So many aspects of our ven-
ture can't be recorded on Paper-
They are feelings and memories
that only we the young Voya-
geurs can understand - mem-
ories that will remain with ua.
Mr, and Mrs. Coulter, our
escorts enjoyed the trip as much
as we did, and by their pre-
sence made it much more en-
joyable for us.

bus that took us to the CINTR
station In Ottawa. We had met
most Of the other Young Voy-
ageurs at an orientation meet-
ing in Janet but many of us
weren't familiar with our es
corts - Mr. and Mrs. Jim Coul-
ter, who replaced Mr, and Mrs.
Lloyd ACkert, Of Winghern•
The train from Toronto
reached Ottawa Friday evening.
We stayed In the capital city
two nights at a University Res-
idence which was occupied with
various other Voyageur groups
from Cowansville, near Mont-
real, Nova Scotia, Hamilton, Ont-
ario, the Yukon, and British Col-
umbia. Each day we saw a new
part of Ottawa; the various em-
bassies, the home of our Prime
Minister, shopping malls and of
course, the parliament buildings,
Peace Tower and changing of the
guards. A dog helped the guards
while we were there! Another
surprise was the music that acc-
ompanied the guards - the band
played "Honey".
we travelled to Montreal on
a bus with twenty-three other
Young Voyageurs from Cowan-
sville. They were returning
from Calgary - this fact easily
recognizable by their white Ste-
tsons!
Our hosts and hostesses met
us as we stepped off the bus -
into a French world! I had been
to Montreal before, but had stay-
ed mainly in the downtown area
where most people are bilingual,
of course, to our advantage. The
Young Voyageurs from Montreal
for the most part, spoke Eng-
lish better than we spoke French,
although some people spoke no
English at all! It was rare to
find a bilingual family, so every-
one just was patient and we tried
and' usually suceeded to comm-
unicate.
In my host family only the
girl and her father spoke a bit
of English. Her mother and I
were able to communicate though
tres lentemente with my weak
french, a dictionary and sign
language! The french we learn
at school helps if the people
speak slowly so we can make
out each word they are saying.
Monday we visited Old Mont-
real and Radio Canada. we saw
them, at the latter place, pro-
ducing a show. Here was also
one of the ships used on the
television series D'Iberville.
This ship, only two feet in
length, was put in a vibrating
pool, and thus television viewers
thought it was travelling across
a stormy seal
Most of the girls went shopp-
ing Tuesday, as it was out free
day. We usually went as a group
so that the English Voyageurs
could have a chance to talk!
All of our travelling in Mont-
real was done by bus and sub-
way. The people on these trans-
portation vehicles never seemed
to notice a group of twelve or
so Voyageurs when they broke
into a rousing chorus of Give
Us a Place to Stand.
Place Des Ans, 'Air Canada,
and the University of Montreal
were among those places we
visited on Wednesday.
At Air Canada we learned
about the training of pilots and
stewardesses; were taken th-
rough a plane and introduced to
the various gadgets within the
plane.
Early next Morning we left
for Quebec City on a bus with
our Montreal hosts. We ate at
Laval University, saw Montmor-
ency Falls, then toured the old-
est part of the historic city.
That evening we slept in a
