On September 26, 2015, Emma [Reuben] and I went on a airplane from Montreal, Quebec, to Victoria, British Columbia. There, we would be spending the next two weeks as exchange students at GNS (Glenlyon Norfolk School).

So far, after spending a week with my exchange partner, Sally, I’ve seen the many historical landmarks and beautiful sites that lay in BC, such as Mile 0 (where Terry Fox started his journey), the Oak Bay Marina, and Beacon Park. When you look across the Pacific Ocean you are able to see all the way over to the United States. It is so beautiful.
