Brett Hyska was our outbound Rotary Exchange Student in 2010-11 and we could not have picked a better person.  Brett spoke to us this morning about his journey from being an exchange student going to Japan to then  to University in Japan and working there and many other places in the world and now back in Canada to go back to University to study French language.  Brett has accomplished so much in his life bridging the gap between countries.
 
Throughout his talk Brett kept referring to how he could not have done any of this without that Rotary Exchange experience.  These are what he says he learned from that experience:  He gained Life long friendships, Language skills, Adaptability & Resilience and Leadership skills.
 
You make us very proud of you Brett and we wish you well in the years to come.
