The young people participating in the 68th

annual Rotary Adventure

in Citizenship Program have several things in common:

They are all Canadians.

They are all students.

They are all leaders at their schools and in their communities.

They all crave adventure.

It is this last mutual interest that brings them together for this

program. The best adventures take you out of your comfort zone, introduce

you to new ideas and help you to learn more about yourself and the world

around you. That is what these students will experience.

They will leave Ottawa with a greater understanding of how our

country works, and an appreciation for our institutions and the importance

of working together.

I wish them the very best as they embark on this adventure.

April 29–May 2, 2018 Dear Friends: I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to everyone participating in the 68th annual Rotary Adventure in Citizenship Program, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ottawa. This exciting learning opportunity brings together student leaders from across the country to learn about Canada’s democratic institutions and parliamentary traditions. The program offers a unique chance to interact with political leaders, diplomats, government officials and other mentors. I am certain that all participants will come away from the experience with a new appreciation for what it means to be a Canadian citizen. The program’s success depends upon the organizational skills and generosity of numerous volunteers. I would like to commend the Rotary Club of Ottawa, its supporting partners and the host families for making this initiative possible. On behalf of the Government of Canada, I offer my best wishes for an enjoyable adventure. Sincerely,

The Rt. Hon. Justin P.J. Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada

On behalf of Members of Ottawa City Council, it is my distinct pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to everyone participating in the 68th Annual Adventure in Citizenship Program of the Rotary Club of Ottawa, taking place in the heart of our nation’s capital from April 19th to May 2nd 2018.

I want also to take this opportunity to congratulate the Rotary Club of Ottawa, as well as the participants, dignitaries, sponsors, facilitators and volunteers, who have committed their time, energy, expertise and resources to the successful organization of this very educational and popular civic program.

As Mayor of the host city, I invite visitors to explore the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame and the Barbara Ann Scott Gallery at City Hall, as well as the revitalized Lansdowne park, its restored heritage pavilions, and new TD Place, home of the Ottawa REDBLACKS CFL team, and Ottawa Fury FC United Soccer League team.

Allow me to wish you all a most pleasant stay in Ottawa.

Sincerely,

J’ai l’immense plaisir d’accueillir, au nom des membres du Conseil municipal d’Ottawa, tous ceux et toutes celles qui participent au 68e

Programme annuel intitulé « Redécouvrons notre citoyenneté » organisé par le Rotary Club d’Ottawa et qui aura lieu au cœur de la capitale nationale du 19 avril au 2 mai 2018.

Je tiens également à profiter de l’occasion pour féliciter le Rotary Club d’Ottawa ainsi que les participants, les dignitaires, les commanditaires, les animateurs et les bénévoles qui ont consacré leur temps, leur énergie, leur expertise et leurs ressources à l’organisation réussie de ce programme civique très enrichissant et populaire.

En tant que maire de la ville hôte, j’invite les visiteurs à explorer le Temple de la renommée des sports d’Ottawa et la Galerie Barbara-Ann-Scott, tous deux situés à l’hôtel de ville, ainsi que le parc Lansdowne, qui a récemment fait peau neuve, ses édifices patrimoniaux restaurés, de même que la nouvelle Place TD, domicile du ROUGE et NOIR d’Ottawa, équipe de la Ligue canadienne de football, et du Fury FC d’Ottawa, équipe de la United Soccer League.

Permettez-moi de vous souhaiter à tous un séjour des plus agréables à Ottawa.

Meilleures salutations.

Jim Watson, Mayor/Maire

Dear Adventurers: What a great pleasure it is to welcome you to the 2018 Rotary Adventure in Citizenship program. It is my belief that you and the other 199 Adventurers are among Canada's best and most promising. You have been recognized by your local Rotary Club as the future leaders of tomorrow. It is an honour for me to be the Chairperson of this 68th Rotary Adventure in Citizenship program. I whole-heartedly believe in the value of this investment being made in you by Rotary. Rotary's hope is that this will truly be an "adventure" for you. To help you better understand the privileges and responsibilities of Canadian citizenship, provide you with time to reflect on what it means to be a Canadian citizen and allow you to return home with greater insights into the shared values and diversity of all Canadians. I know that you will have fun and make many new friends during your visit with us. The organizing committee and our many sponsors have gladly worked together to plan and organize your program. Our efforts now shift to helping you to participate fully and enjoy your stay in the National Capital Region. I look forward to meeting each of you individually and sharing with you this incredible experience. Sincerely, Kateri Clark Chairperson Adventures in Citizenship Program 2018 Rotary Club of Ottawa

“Under this flag may our youth find new inspiration for loyalty to Canada; for a patriotism based

not on any mean or narrow nationalism, but on the deep and equal pride that all Canadians will

feel for every part of this good land.”

- Lester B. Pearson, 14th Prime Minister of Canada
