The Tapis Rouge TOW' was designed to promote understanding of the French Canadian way of life by young English Canadians. Wendy Baird of Clinton was one of the students on the tour and gives some of her impressions in this essay. BY WENDY BIRD For unseasoned travellers, we were not long in making friends out of strangers when the tour began right thers, on the C.N. platform in London. • We are Brenda, Elaine, Wendy and Susan, (a friend from Amherstburg, ' formerly from Clinton). We didn't do badly considering that for the most part, we were on our own as far as travel arrangements went. Because such a small group from Clinton went, it wasn't worth our school's effort to follow through with the travel arrangements. Situation at the C.N. platform — not quite normal — no passenger cars for the Tapis Rouge Tour, not even standing room in the coaches on train No. 54, By then we were about seventy hopeful travellers, and soon, by a miracle, the C.N. folks produced a bus for us! The Tapis Rouge Tour (ours was from December 30th to January fourth), is arranged by a group known as Student Inter-provincial • Cultural Exchange, headed by Miron W. Zelman, London. It is a non-profit, organization and it's NOW FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT The CLOUD "NINE" ROOM At HOTEL CLINTON Featuring SING ALONG WITH JEAN At The Organ FRIDAY And SATURDAY, purpose is to strengthen language and cultural ties between FrenCh and English student groups in Canada. Tours are arranged for any interested people of high school age, and take place during • Christmas and spring school holidays. The destination was Quebec. City, Our tour represented students from Timmins to Windsor, London to Waterloo, Guelph to Toronto, totalling two hundred young Ontario travellers. To the tour-planners and chaperones Thanks. We are grateful because you were understanding and you gave us an opportunity to meet young people who love their country and are proud to be French Canadian. If you can arrange for them to visit among us in the future, we may be able to do a lot 'for positive action to replace the negative language we still hear so much about. Good luck with future tours! After eleven long, cold bus hours, we arrived at the Chateau Frontenac. It was elegant, but more than that it was warm. It was 10:30 a.m. December 31st, Before dinner we were assigned to our rooms (elegant too) on the fourth floor, with maid service. The rested, toured the hotel on foot to the seventeenth floor and then, by bus, the city itself. Through half-closed eyes, we made out Upper Town's magnificent mansions, a French Canadian radio station, the Citadel, the Kent Gate in the Wall, and on to Lower Town. We saw the open air ChaMplain Market. It was open but we did not stop. You would not believe the narrow streets (Sous le Cap), eight feet wide — strictly one way .and, not for buses. Children actually stopped tourists with "a penny please?" We saw magnificence and we saw poverty. We saw the flat Plains of Abraham and the Gibraltar-like cliffs linked with Wolfe and Montcalm. After viewing the beautiful Shrine of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, outside of the city where ancient 1647 stone ruins built into a twentieth century Basilica tell of anguished shipwrecked Breton sailors and many miracles, we went across the street where we were served Students About 260 senior high school students and 17 teachers will visit Waterloo on Saturday, January 24, to attend a Computer Science Day at the University of Waterloo. They will come from the Borough of Scarborough pricegard WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28TH typical four-course, French Canadian Cuisine, at long tables, We were waited on by Ursuline Nuns in their Convent. Ice Capades 1970 completed our New Year's Eve. To bed at the Chateau when the New Year was one hour old.- Other highlights of those history-packed days — a ferry boat ride to Levis., the Wax Museum which did not seem quite real, until we came out and Brenda was about to touch the wax policeman; when he smiled. We relived Quebec's military past, in the dark Diorama lighting up with five miles of electrical wiring and 2000 flashing lights, along with dramatic narration. During a quick tour of the Provincial Parliament, there were lighter moments. Referring to Prime Minister Trudeau's guests dining quarters, was the comment de la Timmins. "Can normal people eat in there too?" Reply, with animation from our guide: "Yes, yes, normal people too." We should mention the quaint horse-drawn winter taxis, always available before the Chateau Frontenac. But zero weather kept us from giving in to their old-world charms. Gourmet food is as good as, or better than, it sounds. We can recommend a place called, "Au Petit Coin Breton" — only two blocks from the Chateau. The dances arranged for us gave lots of opportunity to try out our French. We learned from the kids that the young people did not invent separatism. Their thoughts were already on the Winter Carnival and some asked us if we would be, coming back for it. We made our 'farewells five days later. Our bus stopped in Montreal and many of us were ready to re-capture Quebec City again, however, our bus driver was not to be persuaded. On to London where we were met by the trusty Vincent and Volkswagen. Brenda's comment, "What a riot." Elaine said, "I really enjoyed it, but the people certainly live in the past," At that point we all fell asleep.
