Students voyage to Alberta By Lisa Boonstoppel-Pot As part of Canada's 125 celebra­ tions, two local highschool students got a free airfare ticket to Alberta. Christy Scott, 16, and Brian Van Steelandt, 17, both of RR 1, Blyth got a free ticket by joining the Voyageurs exchange program sponsored by the federal govern­ ment to celebrate Canada's anniver­ sary. The pair, along with seven other Central Huron Secondary students, returned two weeks ago from Fort McMurray, A’berta and both say they had lots of fun. "Fort McMurray was really nice. It was kind of secluded in the mid­ dle of nowhere," says Miss Scott. While there, she and her fellow exchangers went, to the West Edmonton Mall, a whale exhibit, the parliament buildings, an Indian Reserve and the tar sands. "The Indian Reserve was really interesting," says Miss Scott. Mr. Van Steelandt, on other other hand, found West Edmonton Mall the most interesting. "It's so big," he exclaimed. He was amazed by the temper - ture difference between Ontario and Alberta. 'It's definitely colder," he says. While they were there, tempera­ tures dipped to minus 14 and they had four inches of snow. Miss Scott found the province looked kind of "Christmasy" because of all the pine trees. The students were accompanied by teacher James Barnes of Brus­ sels who said Voyageurs is an exchange designed "to foster cross­ Canada understanding." The Albertan counter-parts have already been to Ontario and were taken to Toronto to see the CN Tower among other sites.
