Sixty students from two schools St. Daniel Catholic School in Kitchener and Sanjuit School in Northern Québec came together for a cultural and learning exchange like no other. This first-of-its-kind experience bridged two communities, offering students the opportunity to build friendships, explore new traditions, and share their unique ways of life.
For 11 of the 12 students from Sanjuit School, this was their first time leaving their village. They were joined by their teacher, Joe Louka a former St. John's and WCDSB graduate and community elders, who supported them throughout the trip. The exchange was made possible thanks to the efforts of St. Daniel teachers Carlos Roque and Michelle Spry, as well as Principal James Noonan and WCDSB Indigenous & Equity Consultant Jenn Staats, who provided guidance and support.
