With newly added attractions and events included, the new passport promises to open up the world of local arts, recreational, cul- tural events and attractions to interna- tional students and their host families in Huron County. In 2015, the Huron Arts & Heritage Network (HAHN) in partnership with the Huron Local Immigration Partnership, created the first-ever Huron County Cul- tural Passport for international students and their host families. Well, this year's edition is hot off the press and ready for distribution. This second updated and expanded edition of the Cultural Passport offers dis- counts to a wide variety of Huron County fun and exciting arts, culture, heritage and recreational activities including the Alice Munro Festival of the Short Story, Bayfield Fair, Blyth Festival, Exeter Rodeo, Goderich Celtic Roots Festival, Goderich Little Theatre, Huron County Multicul- tural Festival, Huron County Museum and Historic Gaol, Zurich Bean Festival and Windmill Lake Wake & Eco Park. Host families are eager to show visiting students all there is in the area and beyond. However, the costs of these trips can add up and become a barrier for some host families, who cover most of the cost out of pocket. "The Cultural Passport and the dis- counts that the participating cultural organizations have offered help make exploration and participation in our local culture a little easier and more affordable for the students and their host families," says Rick Sickinger, Cultural Develop- ment Officer. "Our hope is that this increased access to our cultural events and attractions will offer these visiting students a better and more rewarding understanding of what we are about in Huron County." Diane Hahn, Homestay Services Coordinator with the Avon Maitland District School Board, supports the Cultural Passport by saying, "The pass- port is a great addition to the choices families make about showing their stu- dents some of the wonderful activities we have to offer. We very much wel- come the Passport once again. It is a wonderful way for families to enjoy the local attractions and activities that we sometimes take for granted. To see things through the eyes of our interna- tional students brings new life and excitement to everyone:' In the current school year there are over 190 international students regis- tered to attend Huron and Perth schools. The Cultural Passports will be distributed to host families of interna- tional students through the Avon Mait- land District School Board. �rt'tinrlrr■ in ROYAL LEPA ;EnmEmitiumil Heed Realty lenlmhp Helping you is what we do.TM OFFICE 519-482-3400 1 Albert St., Clinton To view all our listings go to: www.rlpheartland.ca 000 Fred Lobb** Rick Lobb*** Richard Lobb Sr.* Sherry McLaughlin* Cell: 519-955-0012 Cell: 519-525-1174 Cell: 519-955-0163 Cell: 519-301-2879 NEW PRICE 279 Morris St., Blyth $89,900 Call Sherry MLS#712987 SF yjJ: N. ti, NEW PRICE 22 London Rd., Brucefield 5129,900 MLS#583452 4Eiiis E.

The win would also allow them to gain entry to the OFSAA provincial champion- ships on May 30. Standing in their way were the Thames Valley Regional champion Lions of London South Collegiate. Knowing they had prepared since February for this moment, the Eagles opened the match with some staunch defense, forced an early turno- ver and scored shortly thereaf- ter. Building on a positive start, St. Anne's continued to press the issue and scored again and again by controlling their ball and running terrific supporting lines that could not be stopped by their opponent. While London was able to sneak in a single score late in the second half, the outcome was never in doubt and St. Anne's stood tall with a 55-5 victory thanks to 9 trys and 5 successful converts. 1 1 1 1 The performance was impressive and most spectators stated this was some of the best high school rugby they had seen all year. The Eagles will Contributed photos now represent the Western Ontario region in Ottawa at the end of the month and challenge the best teams in the province for OFSAA glory.
