Encounters with Canada
Encounters with Canada offers a fantastic opportunity for Canadian teenagers to meet their peers from across the country while spending a week touring in Canada’s capital, Ottawa. Applications are now being accepted for next school year. Students that apply now will have their choice of which week to attend as well selecting the theme of their trip (Arts & Culture, Canada Remembers, Ecology & Environment, International Affafirs, Journalism & Communications, Law, Medicine & Health, Politics in Canada, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Science & Technology, Sports & Fitness, Vimy: Canada’s Coming of Age). They will also be able to take advantage of a government subsidy which reduces the cost of the trip from $675 to $500, until all the subsidies run out.
