TARS Air Ambulance was in the area Sunday night

to transport an individual who had been involved
in a car accident to Winnipeg for medical treatment.
The single vehicle rollover took place south of
Erickson with one occupant sustaining serious injuries. The STARS crew in Winnipeg was dispatched at
7:33 p.m. with the helicopter airborne by 7:40 p.m.
Minnedosa Fire Department was called on to secure

injured patient to Winnipeg. At presstime Wednesday,
there was no further update available on the patients
condition.
STARS had also been called upon last Thursday,
September 17th to transport a patient who had sustained injuries from a fall here in Minnedosa. The helicopter was airborne but called off part way into its flight.
So far in 2015, there have been 393 emergency
flights for STARS in Manitoba, 12 of those were between September 14th and 20th.

recycling bins and signage

regarding recycling awareness at the public beach
and campground area.
As
they
toured
Minnedosa, the judges
were impressed to see a
number of areas left natural with native plants and
wild fl owers or grasses
growing. They encourage
more use of such plants in
areas such as community
planters or flowerbeds.
These native plants often
require much less watering and maintenance than
others and come back
strong and healthy year
after year. When it comes
to watering the community planters and baskets
on Main Street, the judges
suggest using non-treated
water. Not only is this better for the health of the
plants but will also be cost
eff ective as it is not using
water which the Town has
treated for consumption.
A possible way to achieve
this goal would be to collect rain water off a larger
community building and
store it in a holding tank to
be used exclusively for watering plants.
While the hanging
baskets along Main Street
are beautiful, the judges
felt they are undersized
and could be improved.
To reduce the amount
of watering and maintenance required, a suggestion was made to pur-
chase some new larger

hanging planters, such as
the models which feature
a reservoir in the bottom.
A Community Garden
was viewed as a valuable
idea by the judges but to
enhance such a project,
the judges suggested having a garden shed onsite
for users to store their
garden tools. This would
allow users to visit the
garden without having to
remember to bring along
their garden tools every single time. Having a
community rain barrel
at the garden site was also
suggested for easy watering access.
The judges were impressed by the number
of heritage buildings still
standing in Minnedosa
and the preservation of
community history. They
suggested some sort of
incentive program or plan
to secure the future and
appearance of heritage
homes, businesses and
community facilities.
The Discover
Minnedosa rest area
south of town at the former Esso site gives travellers the first impression
of the community. The
judges viewed it as an extremely valuable but high
maintenance area. They
suggested that the weed
cover in the cracks of the
pavement at the site need
to be addressed.

Minnedosa EMS Demonstates A Ferno Stretcher

dren in these countries.

For its part, this year,
the Minnedosa Rotary
Club raised money which
was matched by the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation
and that total was matched
by the Canadian government, allowing for the immunization of 2,500 more
children around the world.
This is just a small portion
of the success created by
the Minnedosa club, which
in total has raised in excess
of $10,000 for the cause, resulting in 60,000 immunizations worldwide over the
lifetime of this campaign.
A significant eff ort indeed

Th ere are only two
companies manufacturing power lift stretchers in
North America. Minnedosa EMS demoed the other
brand about a month ago
but through experimentation found it wasnt as
zero lift capable as the
Ferno model.
Every ambulance in
Manitoba comes with a
basic stretcher and it will
take a while to obtain the
new Ferno stretchers for
every ambulance but they
need to start somewhere.
The Minnedosa EMS has
been raising funds to purchase two of these new
stretchers. Th e cost for
one stretcher comes in at
$28,000. Presently, more
than half of the money
required has been raised
and fundraising continues
with hopes of being able to
purchase two stretchers in
the near future. Ultimately
its up to the efforts of the
community and fundraising to make this happen.

Emergency
Medical
Services (EMS) had the
newly sought after, fully
automatic, Ferno stretcher on display Tuesday and
demoed it for stakeholders at the EMS facility.
The new, computer based
stretcher allows the patient to feel more relaxed
with less stress and the
paramedics to have more
control and ease of use.
When the unit arrives it comes with a fully
operational DVD manual
and users only have to
program it to accommodate the height of the ambulance. Everything else
literally is done for them
besides some general
maintenance of greasing
the gears and joints of the
unit.
Th e stretcher comes
with an on board computer that is attached to the
front of unit. This computer automatically knows
what the next step is going to be by the individual
sensors that come with

the unit. These sensors
calculate all the necessary
weight needed and the
tasks that need to be performed next. The stretcher
is also powered by the on
board battery system. The
Ferno stretcher with zero
lift does all the lifting by
itself.
The reasoning for all
the automation and computerized sensors is to not
only benefit the patient for
comfort but also the physical condition of the paramedics whom operates the
stretcher. We will always
need two paramedics operating the stretcher, says
Kathy Wright, paramedic
at Minnedosa EMS, but it
saves our backs and legs.
The new stretcher is much
more efficient and easy to
operate than the old way
of doing it, which took
a huge toll on the paramedics bodies. They can
get more done in a day by
having way less stress on
their bodies. An interesting fact that Kathy stated
is that only one percent of

was a bit disheartened when I learned that there

were some concerns expressed to Town Council
regarding the street closures for this summers Fun
Fest attractions, namely the Street Market, Car Show
and Lawn Mower Derby in and around the Cenotaph,
United Church, Post Offi ce and Library. Sadly, there
are also some people who find the Saturday morning
parade a horrible inconvenience to them. Obviously,
there is some level of inconvenience any time there is
a street closure but I find it sad that for two days during
the year we cannot all come together as a community
and allow a little compromise.
Rather than selfi
shly looking at how these events
affect me, myself and I lets look at the bigger picture.
The street market and car show were both hugely successful during our summer festival weekend. I walked
through the area numerous times throughout the
day and every time I visited there was a good crowd
of spectators. Many of these faces were not familiar to me and were obviously from out-of-town. Fun
Fest 2015 brought people to our community that is
a great thing! The street market and car show brought
people and kept people in our downtown area another great thing! These are things worth celebrating.
Attracting people to our community means added foot
traffic for our businesses and many other community
attractions. The Fun Fest committee alone is a small
group of hard working volunteers trying their best to
bring exciting attractions to our community not only
for our own residents to enjoy but to draw outsiders to
our town. I think they have done a fabulous job! Many
other volunteers and groups work hard to host their
own event or attraction during Fun Fest weekend.
Lets compliment them and recognize these volunteers for all their hard work and efforts rather than nitpick them apart for every little thing we may not have
personally agreed with or enjoyed during the weekend. Such constant selfish, little nit-picking comments
have chased away many hard working volunteers in
many communities for many years.
When it comes to access of parking in small towns,
many of us have become spoiled. We are used to parking right out in front of a business or facility and have
become quite lazy. Have you ever passed by a local
business and decided to try again later just because

you could not park right outside the front door and
didnt want to have to walk some distance to get there?
I have and every time I have caught myself doing this I
realize how ridiculous it is, but I still fall for it time and
time again.
Think about it for a moment if you go to Brandons Shoppers Mall or Corrall Centre or Winnipegs
Polo Park for example, there is a very good chance you
are not going to find a parking spot right in front of the
door, like you might be used to here in Minnedosa. Yet,
most people dont think twice about walking through
a large crowded parking lot to get to one of these urban shopping centres. Add to this the many additional
footsteps you will be walking once inside these large
stores or malls and guess what? You have walked
a whole lot further than if you had to park and walk
one or two blocks away from your destination here in
Minnedosa. Anyone with a step counter will know this
to be true.
Unless you are fortunate enough to have your own
privately owned parking lot, parking space for your
business or facility can be challenging and at times
frustrating. I deal with it regularly here at The Tribune
office. The only parking we own is the back employee
parking lot and the side driveway. We own no customer parking out front. Our customers can park in front
of our building along 3rd Avenue S.W. which is provincially owned as part of Highway #16A. I have no control over who parks along this area and many times vehicles from other nearby businesses fill the spaces out
in front of my business. This area becomes even more
congested whenever there is a funeral just down the
street. Some customers have voiced their complaints
that I should put up signs stating Tribune Customer
Parking Only. If I owned the parking spaces out front
of this office I would gladly put up such a sign, but it is
not my property to do so.
Whether it is parking right out front for easy access or having to deal with an inconvenient road closure for one weekend of the year to accommodate Fun
Fest activities, lets put our selfish negativity and complaints aside and compromise. Surely we can all work
together - there are more positive areas we can focus
our energy on.

Meet The Tribunes New Reporter, Matt

By MATT SACHARKO
grew up in the city of

Brandon, MB with five
siblings. What a busy life
growing up with all the
hustle and bustle that my
parents had to do. My
parents were and are very
hard working and showed
me the values at a very early age. Work hard, be honest and love life.
We were always a very
musically oriented family
from my Dad and Mom, to
my four sisters and brother
we all took music very seriously. I had entered into
many different contests
and involved myself into
many talent shows growing up. In 1995 when I was
11 our family got some bad
news that the loved one
of our lives, my mom, had
cancer. Was a terrible time
for the family and for my
mom as she later became a
single parent.
At the age of 11 I was
called by my oldest sister
Shelly whom was living in
southern Ontario at the
time to come live with her
and she would raise me.
Photo by Darryl Holyk
So I came to Mississauga
on requests of my oldest
sibling. She told me we,
as a family need to stick together!
I had continued my
music endeavors with talent shows and contests because it was just the things
I knew how to do and I had
promised my mom saying,
I will never stop singing,

which to this day I would
like to get back into doing.
I had moved around from
grade school to grade
school and from high
school to high school as we
were settling and finding a
place to live together. I had
graduated high school and
had the passion to attend
college. I then attended

Trebas Institute in Toronto
for Recording Music Production and pursued an
interest in the technical
side of the music industry.
I had helped out in church
music productions and
grew my knowledge and
experience in the arts.
Brandon was my place
to vacation to. For one I

had missed family back
home and for numerous
other reasons. This lead
me to the decision that I
would like to come back
and live here. So I packed
up my bags and through
the heartfelt emotions of
leaving my family in Ontario, I had made the trip
back home.
I was approached by
a very successful business
owner of a music club in
Brandon to be the sound
engineer for bands that
came through there every
weekend and the numerous concerts that they put
on. I agreed to the position
and again found myself
in front of a sound board
and speakers where I still
fi nd myself to this day. I
have also helped out and
used my talents for the local Dagnabbit band from
Minnedosa.
On March 19th, 2014 I
was introduced to my fianc. She stole my heart from

day one. She is from Winnipeg and moved to Glenella four years ago as she
obtained a full time teachers position. We had met
and time went on and on
March 29th I had popped
the big question. She said
yes, thankfully, so the wedding is planned for August
13th 2016. Just this past
summer we had bought
a house and we plan on
having kids and building a
wonderful future together.
This brings me to now.
I am very thankful for
the opportunity that The
Minnedosa Tribune has
offered me to be your new
local newspaper reporter.
I plan on joining into the
community and planning
on giving you, the reader,
all the current and exciting
news that this wonderful
town and area has to offer.
Blanket Exercise Teaches Unique History of Canada

SUBMITTED
ifteen years ago, Kairos

CanadasAboriginal
Rights Coalition worked
with Indigenous elders and
teachers to develop an interactive way of learning
the history most Canadians
are never taught. The Blanket Exercise was the result;
it has since been offered
thousands of times and was
last completely updated
in 2013. Two versions are
available: one for youth and
adults, the other for chil-
dren and younger teens.

The exercise uses blankets to represent the lands
of what is now called Canada, and the distinct cultures
and nations which live on
those lands to this day. Participants represent the First
Peoples; when they move
onto the blankets, they are
taken back in time to the
arrival of the Europeans.
The Narrator and a European (or two) work with the
participants to read a script
while the exercise goes
through the history of trea-
ty-making,
colonization
and resistance that resulted
in the nation we today call
Canada. It engages peoples minds and hearts in
understanding why the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous
peoples is often broken and
how we can take action together.
In June, a large Blanket Exercise was part of the
closing events for the Truth
and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in Ottawa.
As a result of the work of
the TRC, there has been

increased demand for educational opportunities that
bring together Aboriginal
and non-aboriginal Canadians. The Blanket Exercise
has recently been offered in
our region with workshops
in Russell, Shoal Lake and
Brandon in schools, community halls and churches. Kairos Blanket Exercise will be offered soon
in Minnedosa for youth
and adults. Check-out the
Coming Events for more
details.

What Do You Want To Be Famous For?

Living in
Paradise
By
VERN MAY
EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC
ame is not a concept

that we devote a great
deal of our energy to in rural Manitoba. No, instead
we roll up our sleeves and
get the job done, often
embarrassed by any extra
attention. After all, were
just doing what needed to
be done.
But when were considering our marketing as
a community, we need to
cast aside our modesty and

get focused on our reputation and visibility. What
do we want to be famous
for? Yes, famous.
Building confi
dence in
consumers to invest here
short term, as a visitor, or
long term as a resident or
merchant requires that
we develop our brand.
What do we do that
were most proud of? What
have we accomplished that

we can unabashedly brag
about? Business guru Tom
Peters wrote in an article
entitled The Brand Called
You: If youre going to be
a brand, youve got to become relentlessly focused
on what you do that adds
value, that youre proud of,
and most important, that
you can shamelessly take
credit for.
Thinking along those
lines, consider the elements of our community that we want people
to readily associate with
our name. Our feature in
the Winnipeg Free Press
earlier this spring was a
great start. A full page article under a title that read
Land of Opportunity is a
step in the right direction,
but its only the beginning.
Our challenge should
be narrowing the field
down to just the key areas
where we are distinct from
others. Sure, we are recognized as a premier tourist
destination, but as a place
for families to plant their
roots, the discussion needs
to be framed differently.
On paper, the dollars
and cents of economic
development
requires
us to show measurable
growth by increasing the
tax base. But the true success is through developing
an emotional attachment
with people that inspires
long term relationships.
Satisfi ed customers and

residents that want to share
their positive experience is
a much stronger vehicle
for your message than anything you generate as an
organization. That sense
of loyalty can have a ripple
eff ect which creates even
further growth.
Im always thinking
about Minnedosas fame
and every step that we can
take to increase our profile
even when that starts to
seem selfish.
Being the CEO of Me
Inc. requires you to act
selfi shly to grow yourself, to promote yourself,
to get the market to reward
yourself, says Peters. It all
benefi ts the greater goal.
Everything you do is gravy for [the community]:

the projects you lead, the
networks you develop, the
customers you delight, the
braggables you create generate credit for the [town].
What do you think
Minnedosa should be famous for?
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people and we need to talk.
You can find me under the

Does Safety Improve your Farms Bottom Line?

SUBMITTED
orkplace safety and

health is important especially in farming where the industry is
known for its high fatalities
most of which are machinery related. However, injuries and illnesses are preventable. That is why it is so
important for producers to
take the necessary preventative measures in creating
safety and health systems
that fi t their operation. A
few simple preventative
measures go a long way
towards establishing a safe
working environment.
It is time for farm safety to be part of the farm
business risk management
plan. There is evidence that
investing in farm safety
programs directly contributes to profit for your farm.
Your return on investment
outweighs your cost.
What is Return on Investment? Return on investment (ROI) is a popular financial measurement
for evaluating financial
results of specific investments and actions. ROI
measures the amount of

money you make, relative
to the investments cost.
This kind of measurement
addresses questions like:
What do we gain from our
spending? Are the expected returns outweighing the
costs? Do the returns justify the investment?
In short, when you fi
gure out the ROI, you figure
out the efficiency of an investment. In the last few
decades, ROI has become
a popular general purpose
measurement for evaluating capital acquisitions,
projects, programs, initiatives and traditional investments in stock shares
or the use of venture capital.
Using ROI in Farm
Safety Programs. Using
ROI to justify an investment in farm safety may
have implications on how
producers view and manage safety. ROI works best
where economic benefits
are easy to identify, measure and manage. Though
the benefits of investing in
safety do not always meet
these criteria, there are
ways you can evaluate and

manage your safety investments.
Farm accidents are
costly in both financial and
human terms. Direct costs
may include: delayed production, wages, insurance
premiums, attorney fees,
fines and penalties
Indirect costs include:
accident
investigation
costs, costs of fixing damaged property or equipment, the cost of installing
safety devices, training and
compensation of replacement workers, lost productivity because of employee
stress, low employee morale, increased absenteeism, poor reputation, difficulty finding skilled labour
loss of business
Th e Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting
(CAIR) estimates the economic burden of injuries
is $275,000 for a fatality,
$143,000 for permanent
disability, $10,000 for hospitalization and $700 for
injuries that dont require
a hospital stay.
As a producer, you
need to demonstrate that
investing in safety programs and compliance

isnt just a necessary evil
or moral obligation. Its an
investment that directly
contributes to a profit for
your farm business. You
can prepare and present a
proposal to spend money
on a safety program in exactly the same way as you
would for buying a new
piece of equipment. You
need to prove that investing in safety programs
generates a positive rate
of return on your bottom
line.
Th e value of farm
safety is more than the
dollar saved or the returns
earned. The ROI on preventing the human costs
far outweighs the earnings. SAFE Work Manitoba
has developed tools and
resources you can use to
customise your farm safety investment for a positive ROI.

he community sends along best wishes to Wendy

Young who is presently in Minnedosa Hospital.
Barb (Rod) Pederson spent part of her time here visiting with her family in Carman/Winnipeg, then received
a call last week that her Mother had taken seriously ill
and was in Carman Hospital. Nicole Hopkins and baby
Charlotte came from Medicine Hat to visit her Grandma
in hospital.
Newdale friends of Ida Andreychuk of Sandy Lake
wish her best wishes and improving health, as she was
taken to hospital last week.
We send best wishes to Greg Arnfi nson of Strathclair
who was involved in a workplace accident last Wednesday. He was taken to Minnedosa Hospital. Greg is the
Councillor for Ward One, west of Newdale.
United Church services started last week and were
pleased to have Rose Kieper of Russell do the service on
September 20th. She will be returning here on October
4th. She then travelled to Strathclair to do the service
there.
Robert Sopuck, PC candidate, provided a meet and
greet afternoon at the Newdale Drop-In on Friday, September 18th, offering coffee and information to those attending.
If the weather holds from last weekend many farmers will be close to or finished harvest. Mostly an average
year for yields, that spring frost is being felt now.

KENNETH BRUCE
PEARSON
APRIL 4TH, 1950
SEPTEMBER 27TH, 2013
Tis well he will suffer no more
In the loved land of the blest,
Pain fled as he tred
heavens shore;
It left him at peace and rest.
Missed by your family. x
We regret to announce the passing of Marion Margaret

Elaine Moir at the St. Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg. Born in
Hants County, Nova Scotia to Carl and Muriel (Lynch) Faulkner.
Marion, with her brothers and sisters, was orphaned at a young
age. After a few false starts, she was taken in by the Hatfield
family to whom we will always be grateful. An extraordinarily
caring person, its not surprising that Marion found her calling
as a nurse. She trained at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax, where many lifelong friendships were formed, and eventually made her way to Torontos Sunnybrook Hospital for more
training and then to the Brandon Mental Health Centre for even
more training. She was always very proud to be a nurse and won
many good memories and accomplishments over the years
through this work. Marion was also committed to her community and causes, campaigning tirelessly for the Canadian
Cancer Society after the loss of her sister Vivian. While training
in Brandon, Marion met her husband-to-be, Stuart Moir. They
were married for 54 years. Stuart predeceased Marion last year,
in November. Marion had two sons Kirk and Jeff. Kirks family
lives in New Westminster, BC, and is made up of his wife Shammi and two boys, Mitchell and Russell. Jeff lives in Toronto with
his wife Judy and two children, Gillian and Robert. Marion will
be deeply missed. A family ceremony will take place in Minnedosa on Saturday, September 26th, 2015. Flowers are gratefully
declined. If friends so desire, donations in memory of Marion
may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Unit A1800 Rosser Avenue, Brandon, MB R7A 6N5. Expressions of sympathy may be made at www.memorieschapel.com. Arrangements with Memories Chapel, Brandon, 1-855-727-0330.
WILLIAM FREDRICK MARSHALL

JANUARY 6TH, 1948 SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2015
With heavy hearts, JoAnn and
Dan announce the passing of Bill
at the Ste. Rose General Hospital.
Bill was born to Walter and
Ruth Marshall (nee Poole) in
Virden, Manitoba, the second
oldest of four children. During
his youth, Bill farmed with his
dad until his late teens. He then
started
carpentry
with
Bill
Hoffman and then with Ben Wiebe Construction. Bill was an avid hockey player and curler and when
he could no longer participate in the game, he enjoyed watching curling and he was an avid reader. Bill had a great love for
his kids, but most of all he enjoyed Dan and following him in
the Ukrainian Dance circuit.
Bill was predeceased by his brother Dale, his dad Walter and
his grandparents.
He leaves to mourn his passing; his wife JoAnn (nee Kozak),
his sons Dan and Mike, his daughter Teri (Kevin), his grandsons
Nathan and Eric and great grandchildren, his mother Ruth of
Elkhorn, his sisters AnnaMae McAuley (Owen) and Cathy Fowler (Grant) as well as his sisters and brothers-in-law, nieces and
nephews.
A celebration of Bills life was held on Monday, September
21st, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. in the Sneath-Strilchuk Funeral Services,
Ste. Rose Chapel. Rev. Fr. Brent Kuzyk officiated with interment
following in the Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery,
Erickson, Manitoba.
A special thank you to Bills home care workers and the doctors, nurses and staff of the Ste. Rose General Hospital.
Should friends so desire, donations may be made in memory
of Bill to Canadas National Riding and Dancing Cossacks, Dauphin, Manitoba or to a charity of ones choice.
We will miss him dearly. Vichnaya Pamyat, Dad!

A Year In France With Rotary Exchange

By DARRYL HOLYK
ver the years, a number of local students

have participated in the
Rotary Youth Exchange
Program. Currently, Levi
Gregorash is in Brazil
through the program. The
most recent Minnedosa
student to complete an exchange is Alex Enns who
returned home this summer after spending almost
a year in Bailleul, France.
Her experience was something she will never forget
and Alex now hopes to encourage other students to
apply for Rotary Youth Exchange.
I love travelling and I
want to go back. Im looking forward to travelling
a lot more because of this
experience, said Alex who
had never been outside of
the continent before Rotary
Youth exchange. Ive travelled a bit with my family
to Florida and places like
that but never anything like
this.
Her love for travel,
paired with her outgoing
personality and interest
in new adventures guided
Alex to apply for the exchange program. She was
accepted and partially
sponsored by the Minnedosa Rotary Club to spend her
Grade 11 school year overseas. I left in August 2014
and got home on July 18th,
2015, said Alex. She admits
the fi rst leg of her exciting
adventure was a bit frightening and overwhelming.
I was on the plane for 10
hours and it was a little
scary arriving in France all
alone, Alex recalls. I am

fluent in French but wasnt
sure if Id be able to communicate and I didnt know
who was picking me up at
the airport. Once I got there
and met my host family it
got a lot better.
During her exchange
year, Alex stayed with four
diff erent host families but
always attended the same
school, a huge school,
compared to what she is
used to here at MCI. I took
the train to school everyday
which was different and the
school had 1,200 students,
explained Alex. All the kids
form the little villages nearby attending this school.
Th e transportation to
and from school and the
size of the student enrollment were not the only
diff erences Alex was introduced to in France.
Daily life was also a bit of
an eye-opener from what
she was used to growing
up in rural Manitoba. All
my host moms were stayat-home house moms and
they went shopping every
day, explained Alex. They
have tiny little fridges so
every morning theyd go to
the bakery and buy fresh
bread for breakfast. Theyd
buy just enough meat and
vegetables to use that day.
Every day they would go
and buy what they were going to eat for that day. They
dont really have big supermarkets and grocery stores.
Theres one little store for
vegetables, a little bakery
or a little meat shop and
every town you went to had
a tourist shop where you
could get tee shirts or mugs

Alex visited the Eiffel Tower a handful

of times while in France.
and things like that.
The weather in France
was also a bit different being cloudy and wet most
of the time. Only one day
of the whole year I saw
snow there. It was just a
tiny little bit of snow but
buses werent moving, cars
werent moving, there was
no school, everything shut
down, said Alex. That was

a real shocker. It was funny
because here at home we
have three feet of snow and
everything keeps going.
Being away from home
at Christmas was a bit challenging but fortunately,
Alexs host family hosted
some big family events to
celebrate Christmas and
New Years. It distracted

me and kept me from being
too homesick, mentioned
Alex. Having a green
Christmas was pretty weird
but it was a new experience
for me.
Of course, being in a
far away land opened many
opportunities for sightseeing, and not just in and
around France. Alex visited
nine countries during the
course of her stay. We did
a bus tour in February from
Paris to Barcellona and a
two-week trip in May that
went from Paris to Germany to Prague to the Czech
Republic to Vienna and
Austria, Switzerland and
Italy, said Alex. Her second host family took her to
London, England, Peru and
Belgium. Everything over
there beautiful, she recalls.
There is so much history to
see and so many old brick
buildings. We think Canada
is old but really its not that
old at all.
No trip to France
would be complete without
a visit to the historic Eiffel
Tower which Alex visited
about five or six times during her stay. While this was
defi nitely one of the many
highlights of her exchange
experience, she was surprised to learn that many
of the students she went to
school with had never seen
the world famous tower.
She better understood how
people can take for granted
what they have in their own
communitys when she returned home with one of
15094mc7
her host brothers this summer. When he saw our bison he thought they were
so cool, mentioned Alex. I
never thought much about
it its just a normal part of
our town thats just always
there.
Since returning to
Minnedosa, Alex has been
busy sharing her story with
family and friends as well
as showing them the 6,000
photos she took during her
exchange experience. She
recently shared her experience with the Minnedosa
Rotary Club and hopes to
do a presentation at MCI to
promote the exchange program and encourage other
local students to apply for it.
Alex made many great
friends while away from
home and she is doing her
best to keep in touch with
them all through social
media. Its hard, because
there is a seven hour time
diff erence so when I get
home from school, they
are just going to bed, explained Alex.
Currently, Alex is in
Grade 12 at MCI and is busy
catching up on Grade 11
hoping to be able to meet
all requirements to graduate with her classmates
next June as part of the
Class of 2016. In addition,
she is presently running for
Student Council President
and is involved with various school related service
groups such as CHANGE,
TADD and the Yearbook
Committee.
