The students from both communities were I6é or I7 years of age and in grades IO or II. Stu- dents were billetted in private homes with meals provided and therefore needed only suff- icient spending money for miscellaneous expen= ses. Costs for this exchange were borne by the Federal and Provincial Governments. The program started on July 6 with the arr- ival of the B.C. students at Thunder Bay air- port. Our own students were on hand at the airport to greet our guests. Lunch was pro- vided for the group at the Ponderosa Steak House, followed by a tour of Historic Old Fort William. For the next week the B.C. students were hosted by our students in Terrace Bay and Schreiber. A program of planned activities was provided by Mr. Baron who acted as recept~ ionist for the exchange. These activities in- cluded a tour of Geco Mines and the Ministry of Natural Resources in Manitouwadge, tcurs of the Kimberly Clark mill in Terrace Bay, the K.C. Nursery in Longlac, a K.C. logging camp, the Weldwood mill in Longlac, and visits to local provincial parks. The students themsel- ves organized social activities for each even- ing, contributing to the success of the visit. One of the highlights of the week was a civic banquet in honour of our visitors. This ban- quet was catered to by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Terrace Bay Legion and sponsored by the town councils of Terrace Bay and Schreiber. continued page 2
