Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the students of Huron Park Secondary School in Woodstock for working to broaden their horizons.
Students from the grade 9 and 10 enrichment program invited representatives of nine embassies and consulates to present information about their countries as part of the school's international day.
These international visitors toured farms and industries in Oxford county before attending a banquet and student variety program in the evening.
The next day over 600 students had the opportunity to hear these visitors from Italy, France, Brazil, Japan, Germany, South Africa, Sweden, Slovakia and Australia. They learned about these other
cultures and gained an appreciation of the role Canada plays in the international community.
To the students of Huron Park Secondary School I would like to say how proud I am of them for investing so much time and spirit in this initiative.
