President David introduced Imogen Zemlak thanked us for sponsoring her amazing Adventures in Citizenship trip to Ottawa. She noted that she was not ‘too nervous’ about going, because our club had sponsored her brother, Holden, two years ago, so she had an idea of what to expect.
Imogen met new friends almost immediately. There were participants there from all 10 provinces. They stayed at the University of Ottawa.
On Day 2 they visited the parliament buildings, and went to Quebec where they ate at The Sugar Shack. They learned how to make maple syrup.
On Day 3 they enjoyed great entertainment at the talent show.
On Day 4 they visited the Canadian Museum of History, and enjoyed more lectures, including one from a citizenship judge. They had a dinner and dance at a fancy restaurant.
On Day 5 they witnessed a citizenship ceremony.
Imogen shared that she is still in contact with her new friends with whom she had the ‘most fun ever.’
President David thanked Imogen and commented on how impressed he is with the young people that he has heard speak to Rotary.
