One of the fundamental fundamental reasons for the creation of the Terry Fox Canadian Youth Centre was "to develop a spirit of understanding and brotherhood among Canadians Canadians of all backgrounds." Judging from all the tears, hugging and love shown on the morning of our departure, this goal has been met and surpassed. surpassed. I have 123 brothers and sisters all over Canada, an adopted "Dad" in Badger, Newfoundland, and a "Mom" in Ottawa. It was an experience of Learning and of Loving, Since the Terry Fox Youth Centre is conducted in both official languages and as I am a true anglophone, I learned a lot of French. The francophones learned a lot of English. The people who were bilingual translated a lot. I also learned a lot of little things including how to pronounce Newfoundland Newfoundland (un-der-stand -- New- fund-land), how to play football football and that there are many anglophones in Quebec as well as the fact that there are many francophones in the Maritimes. We sang "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" in English, "Alouette" in French and "I'se the B'y" in Newfie. I learned how to share a dorm and two showers with forty other girls and how to live without privacy, peace and quiet. Most of all I learned how to make friends, appreciate appreciate their differences and I learned how to love others. Perhaps Rob Coplan, a participant from Montreal, Quebec, expressed our feelings feelings best in a song he composed composed and wrote the lyrics for and performed on the last evening in the Variety Show. Words cannot express the feelings feelings this song creates for our group of participants but it does give an idea of what the Terry Fox Canadian Youth Centre is all about. "People come from far and wide for a chance to be together, A chance to meet some newfound newfound friends Memories last forever. At first you're scared to say a. word, to talk to anyone but then you find they're just like you and nervous turns to fun. One thing we must tell you and you must not forget the times we've spent together together will be even better yet. The times we share are so special we feel so high when we're together We'll be right there just for you. "We feel so very close to you though you come from far away, We want to tell you how we feel 'cause we'll think of you each day. "We had some special times this week times we won't forget, We knew that you were special from the second that we met. "One thing we must tell you and you must not forget the times we've spent together together will be even better yet. The times we share are so special We feel so high when we're together We'll be right there just for you. "Soon we'll be far apart and we won't be together We hope that you'll stay close to us Special friends forever."
