Times-Advocate, 1988-06-22, Page 17St. Patrick's students enjoy long journey tb; Quebec
LUCAN - -At 5:30 a.m. on Wed-
nesday, May 25, students from St.
Pauicks School started our long
journey to Qucbcc. Little did we
know that at 9:30 a.rn. we would
be stuck at 'a truck stop between Pe-
terborough and Napanee. for five
hours. As soon as the air compres-
sor was fixed, we were on our way
again. We arrived at the hotel at
9:15 p.m. On entering the Manoir
Montmorency we were informed
that we would have to dress up as it
was not allowed to wear jeans in
the dining roost.
Students and teachers learned a
lesson from this. After dinner we
were told the rules of the hotel
which would apply for that night,
tomorrow, Friday and Saturday
morning except for free .time. We
then went to our rooms after a very
tiring day.
We woke up the next morning at
8 a.m. and were informed we would
be eating breakfast at 8:30 a.m. Af-
tcr breakfast we gathered together to
meet our francophone partners
which we would be spending the
day with. We started some games to
get to know everyone and to break
the ice. We got into groups and had
to make up a skit. We had to speak
French and the francophones had to
speak English. It was a challenge to
communicate but we made it
through the day.

Villa fun
on Saturday
LUCAN - Mello to everyone,
from the Villa residents. We have
had an enjoyable weekend, and have
been quite busy over the Fathers
Day celebration. Thank you to all
our visitors and family, for making
this day memorable.
Kiddies! Please come and bring
Mom and Dad to our open house
and white elephant sale, being held
on June 25 between 10 a.m. and 2
p.m. Fun galore for everyone.
From alI reports given to our rov-
ing reporter Alex Young, Art La-
Londe, Esther Craven and Gordon
Smith spent an exciting Fathers
Day with their families.
Regular Friday night bingo win-
ners were Rolando Turgeon (three
games), Pat Caddock, and Stewart
Munro. Extra bingo games were
won by Stewart Munro.
To all the fathers in the commu-
nity we hope you all enjoyed your
special day, from the residents of
Lucan Villa.
Atter lunch we came back to the
hotel and played a game which in-
volved answering questions both in
French and English. When we were
finished, we said good-bye to our
French partners and went to Quebec
City for two hours of free time. We
had dinner back at the hotel. Order-
ing in French is very difficult to do,
but luckily we didn't have to answer
many questions because our meals
were basic but good (most of the
time!).
That night we were supposed to
go to the Plains of Abraham, -but
because of the rain we went roller
skating instead. This seemed to be
very strenuous on some of us, espe-
cially Mr. Gardiner, who hurt his
knee while skating. We got back to
the hotel at 10:00 p.m. and had to
be in our rooms by the 10:30 cur-
few. This gave us'sornetirne to vis-
it our friends on the different floors.
Friday morning we were awak-
ened at.6:30 a.m. With breakfast at
7 a.m., we had little time to be-
come fully alive. At breakfast we
all looked as bad as the eggs tasted.
At 9:00 a.m. we were on the road
to Ste. Anne de Beaupre.. We then
went down one of the oldest streets
in Canada. We saw all the different
houses that have been built in the
history of Quebec. This had to be
the most colourful street in Canada
because of the purple roofs and
green shudders.
All of us were amazed by the
beautiful architecture of the Basili-
ca. After a visit to the gift shop, we
boarded the bus and headed to a
shop which sold maple sugar prod-
ucts. On our way into Qucbcc we
stopped at the Montmorency Falls.
From where we were, we could also
see the green roof of our hotel. On
entering Quebec, we were told that
we would have an hour for lunch.
,,. After lunch we went on a tour.
through Quebec. We went to the_
Notre Dame Cathedral, visited the
seminary, went down the break
neck stairs that led to lower Que-
bec. We saw all the statues (Cham-
plain, Louis XIV, Wolfe and Mont -
calm) and also saw the barracks of
Quebec. We theh thanked our tour
guide. We had another hour of free
.time to see a slide presentation at
the Musee du Fort on the different
battles fought in Qucbcc. We head-
ed back to the hotel at 5:00 p.m.
After'supper we had a dance but
before this started•we listened to a
man sing French songs. He sang a
lot of different songs and to ht us
a new way to sing "Happy irth-
day". This was a very different ex-
perience. After the singing was fi-
nally over we began the dance. Our
French friends were invited also.
They danced differently than. us.
The dance was fun and one of
the highlights of the trip. When the
dance was over we were all told to
go to our rooms and get ready for
bed.
Saturday morning after breakfast,
everyone packed up their belong-
ings and went to watch a play put
on by our tour guides. They picked
students from the audience to play
the people in the story. The play
was very good and the 'Killer Sea-
gull" added to the play's amuse-
ment. When the play was over eve-
ryone went and got their suit cases

"We're proud to be your Lennox Dealer"
and headed out to the bus.
'/lie joke on the way home was
that the bus would probably break
lows again. It wasn't very funny
when it did. We had a two and one
half.hour wait on the edge of a
highway running into Montreal.
With 30 degrees C weather every-
one was hot, tired and hungry.
Soon another bus came and picked
us up and took us to the garage
where all the buses are kept. We
had another hour wait until they
found a bus that we could take. By
then, everyone was starved and our
first stop was at McDonald's. \Vc
then drove straight until 8:00 p.m.
when we stopped for a bite to eat.
We arrived back at school at 12:30
a.rn. Sunday morning. We all went
home after a long day.
We'd like to thank Mlle Renders,
Miss Barry, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner
for taking us on this trip. It was an
event which we will never forget.
Merci!!

"We had to retrain our workers

Manitoba Rolling Mills is a steelworks near Winnipeg. Two years
ago, they badly needed to expand and modernize. Many of their 700
workers needed to upgrade their skills—to keep up with rapidly -
changing technology.
Rod Leduc, Manager of Employee Relations at Manitoba Rolling
Mills, turned to their Canada Employment Centre for help.
With funds supplied by both the company and the federal
government, the Canada Employment Centre first set up a
training trust fund. Then, working closely with the company,
they set up skills development courses for both on-site training
and workshops at local technical colleges.
Today, the much-needed modernization program is
rolling along
smoothly.
The product
is better; the company is
stronger; the jobs are
more secure.
At Canada Employ-
ment Centres, we have
highly skilled people and
innovative programs. We
help companies like Mani-
toba Rolling Mills secure
jobs for the future.

Consultant. headed up the

workers. From entry level to managerial positions.
• Last year. in more than 650 locations, we helped more than 5 million Canadians.
• More than 400.000 Canadians participate in our employment and training programs
