Mr. Speaker, since 1971 Canada World Youth has been organizing the international exchange programs fostering leadership skills, cross cultural learning and social justice both locally and globally.
Funded in part by CIDA some 22,000 young people have taken part in the program which provides hands on work experience and participation in community and international development.
This year Jordan Hancey, a university student from my riding of Cambridge, has been chosen to take part in the Alberta-Poland exchange program.
I congratulate Jordan on his selection and I wish him every success as he prepares to represent Canada on this important cultural exchange.
