On Thursday, Jan. 25, 19 grade nine students from Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) and their teachers Mr. Gaudet and Mrs. Heschuk left for a week-long adventure to Mont Laurier, in northwest Québec. Their trip was part of the two-week Experiences Canada program which is a reciprocal home-stay exchange.

Besides experiencing Quebecois culture and language firsthand in their “twins’” homes, they participated in many outdoor activities such as snowshoeing, dog-sledding, ice-fishing, and downhill skiing in the beautiful Laurentian Mountains.

They also enjoyed a meal at a Cabane à sucre as well as a trip to Montreal where they had a ghost tour of Old Montreal, visited an exhibit at the Montreal Science Center, saw a 3-D show at the Imax, and went to the iSaute trampoline park.

Now the students and teachers are busily planning their hosting activities for when their counterparts from Mont Laurier visit “Friendly Manitoba” at the end of May.
