Terry Fox Centre by Karen Jury On April 8th, 1 had the chance to go to the Terry Fox Centre in Ot- tawa to meet 140 other Canadian students. The program was called Encounters of Canada. Students from every province met in Ottawa and spent a week together becoming friends and learning new and ex- citing, things about the Canadian culture. Every week there is a dif- ferent theme. When I attended, it was Arts and Culture Week. To -stick" to the themne, we visited the National NMuseum of Art were we were able to see Voice of F-ire. WVe also viited the Paffianient Buildings wNhere we imet twý,o Pages and different M.P.'s, \whi talked toL us on various topics such as the con- troversial G.S.T. When we were at the centre, we did different activities srîch as dlay sculpture, cartooning, profiling, folk music, modern and traditional dance and drawing. We got a choice oF the places wýe visited such as the School of Dance, the Planetarium, the Coin MIuseum or a demonstr a- tion of miodemn dance. A big part of this trip was being able to meet new people from al across Canada. With the people from Quebec' and some parts of Manitoba, we were able to practice our French. At first, everyote' was hesitant to meet new people, but after the "meeting" -and games, it became easier. These gamnes includ- ed throwîng your shoes in the mid- <die of the room .and tryîng to find s.- the person who happened to pick themn up. The next gaine vwas Cana- dian.Bingo. We got a sheet that had boxes with a fine for the naines of the person we found with various characteristics. Some examples of these characteristics were a person with a strange pet, a person from a bilingual family and a person who plays the saxophone. These games may seemn childish and boring, but they helped to break the ice. Everyone who came to the centre got their own bunk and locker to store their valuables. They advised you to use these lockers because they couild not be responsible for The fast nlighit we had a gratdua- tion cereinoiyceetifying that \weoat- tended and enijoyed the centre. 1verybody I1 met seemned to(- enj oy it I HOClarke'High ~47Sehool Report si udcis pot vecisvjus olved and ihere svas a mnoci l . .N. in which t hc sixty ,itirderrîs rceprcscncd Ihirty count- tries as if' il wcrc the actual (jeneral AssýcrbIv af the Unitcd Nations passing and overturning resolu- tions. The confernce also included ýwrkshops and seminars dealing with Literacy and organizations within the comnmunity. As, it is the year of Literacy ail students atten- ding the confecrence wrote a literacy test on their literacy skills. The con- ference also included f'ree, time t'or lively discussions, three unhealthy meals a day and a talent night., The conferenice provedt to be a beneficial experience for aIl as good times were had and progress towards a better worid was made.

Follow- ing the skits, ther<e was an ail night dance and alot of tears. On the [ast day there was not a dry eye anywhere. It may seem strange to be so upset to leave people after on- ly knowing them for a week, but in that time you ail get so close. Just as it would be hard to move and leave your life long friends, t's hard to leave the centre because of ail the memories you ail have shared. Sometime it would be easier to just walk away and not look back, ut when you've met people lii<e 1I id, thiat's impossible. The Terry F'ox\ Centre 'vas an ex- perience 1 will neyer forget. The memories that ail of us shared, wilI be the one thing that will definîtely keep us together overi the distances.
