The 2010 Rotary Adventure in Citizenship took place from May 2nd to May 5th, 2010. We sponsored one of our local high school students, Niharika Shahi, to join students from all over the country in Ottawa. During those few days, they visited the House of Commons, the Senate, and other Ottawa landmarks, and learned about our nation's democratic institutions.
The event was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who helped organize it and made it possible!
Stay tuned for the 2011 Rotary Adventure in Citizenship!
