LOCAL STUDENT ENCOUNTERS CANADA

Local Student - Janae and Lexi

    Grade 11 student Janae Roeleveld returned to Viking on Oct. 18 after a whirlwind trip to Ottawa to take part in Encounters with Canada, a program which provides high school students with the opportunity to meet other young people from across the country, learn more about other provinces, and take part in a number of activities.

    Roeleveld attended the week long program specifically for the themes of sports and fitness. Roeleveld applied for the program because her older brother Tyrel had previously taken part and encouraged her to go.

    Each day she had a choice of various activities to participate in, and some of the things she took part in were mini golf, Zumba, an altitude challenge which consisted of a number of rock climbing activities, a boot camp, and the opening night of a Ottawa Senators game.
