Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome to Ottawa a group of dedicated students from Kimmirut, a small community on Baffin Island in Nunavut.
After extensive fundraising and a sponsorship by Heritage Canada, these students spent last week in Montreal. Next April their hosts, grade 9 and 10 students from St. George's High School in Montreal, will travel to Kimmirut to experience Nunavut hospitality.
Exchange trips are one of the positive ways for Canadians to learn more about our great country and we welcome those who chose to come to the north.
Kimmirutmiut, welcome to the nation's capital and enjoy the rest of your exchange.
