In October we hosted a small group of 7th graders from Brazil! It was so much fun to see them making fast friends and being interested in Winnipeg and Canada. We went to the Zoo...
...and saw the amazing new Journey to Churchill Exhibit. There were Polar Bears swimming, wolves lounging around and some seals getting lunch. Later in the week we visited The Forks and had to make a little pit stop at the skate park to see how fast we could run up the ramps...
The Forks was great for some early lunch and shopping before we walked over to the Canadian Museum of Human Rights to learn about human rights around the world. Our tour guide was awesome and the students were so engaged in learning about champions of human rights and issues that the world faces.
The next week our Brazilian guests got the real Canadian experience by learning how to skate and play ice hockey with the St. James-Assiniboia Hockey Academy...
And last but certainly not least we got a great tour of the St. James Fire Station. The students were able to try out the fire hose, put on the gear, and even got some first aid experience.
It was a great two weeks spent seeing Winnipeg and making new friends across the world. Until we meet again!
