Voyageurs enjoy ‘/a belle province

@ Castlegar natives get
taste of Quebec living

Tammy Giles

From Nov. 4 to Nov. 12, a
group of eight students and
one teacher chaperone trav-
elled to Val D’Or, Que.,to ex-
perience a most unique cul-
tural exchange — Voyageurs
92.

Sponsored by Air Canada
and Canadian MPs, they re-
ceived visitors here to Castle-
gar and were then able to fly
to Quebec to visit their newly

made friends.

When it came time for the
French students to return
home, there were no sad good-
byes, only “I’ll see you in a
week”.

As that week rolled by it
came time for the _ nine
Voyageurs to climb aboard the
first of many airplanes and
take off to Quebec.

After 24 hours — which in-
cluded long flights, sleeps on
airport chairs and floors, rides
on moving sidewalks and pay-
ing for expensive airport food

— the group touched down in
Val D’Or.

After a formal kissing of
the ground upon deboarding
the plane, the Castlegar na-
tives were greeted by their
new friends, just waiting to
show them their fabulous city.

The weather was cold but
bearable and the next nine
days were filled with activi-
ties. Hockey games, mines,
bowling, skating, French co-
medians, poutine (fries and
sauce), getting lost in Val
D’Or, learning the language

Visting the Malartic Regional Mines Museum are Castlegar’s (back row, left to right) Mike Lane,
Simon Laurie, Ralph Terpin, Tammy Giles, Melanie Strelive, Chris Forster, (kneeling, left to right)
Rhonda Dawes, Jade Cropley and Jan Holden.

and really getting to know
your host family.

Jade Cropley describes her
host as “my new best friend.

“You really feel like that
while you are there. The hos-
pitality is overwhelming and
you feel like you never left
home.”

The language differences
were sometimes a problem
but were easily overcome with
a little patience and a handy
French-English dictionary.

The people of this mining
community were very warm
and generous, and really
made the group feel very com-
fortable about being there.

Simon Laurie described
the trip as “a tremendous cul-
tural experience.

“You.can learn about a cul-
ture in school and by reading
books, but the real learning
comes from actually being a
part of that culture.”

The French culture in
Canada has such an impact
that it can not and should not
be overlooked. It is really
worthwhile getting to know
your country and exchanges
like these are excellent learn-
ing experiences.

Just ask any one of the
voyageurs that took part in
this exchange and they will

tell you.
