Endiang Enterprise
The 12 exchange students along with two chaperones from the Ottawa – Gatineau area returned home Monday following a week stay with families in the Endiang – Byemoor district. They had a busy week taking in many Alberta sights including the Royal Tyrrell Museum and Atlas Coal Mine in Drumheller, Fort Edmonton Park, West Edmonton Mall and the Legislature Building where they met MLA and Minister of Agriculture Jack Hayden all in Edmonton, the Byemoor Hutterite Colony, Banff and Lake Louise. The host families entertained on the weekend with various activities of their choice before the visiting students were bid farewell. Many lasting friendships were made with the students from eastern Canada and it was a valuable learning experience for all involved.
