Dear Nelson & District Credit Union
Thank you so very much for aiding in sending me, Michaela Daniel, on the Rotary Citizenship Program.
On May 1 through to the 5 I had the privilege of going to Ottawa on this program. This trip was an eye opening experience for me. I had never been East before, and our nations capital was the perfect place to begin. In Ottawa I met with students from across our country, there was at least one person from each province and territory. Being able to meet these teenagers and see the differences and similarities we had and what changed from place to place was valuable in learning about our nation of Canada. We had a very busy schedule during our time in Ottawa, racing from the parliament buildings to national archives, from listening to diplomats to watching a citizenship ceremony. All of these experiences has left a profound mark in my mind as a Canadian citizen. I came home with my mind filled with information and ideas about and for our country.
The Rotary Citizenship Program has been invaluable in building my repertoire of information and experiences that I will to use in my studies next year and life in general. Once again thank you so much for making this experience possible for me.
