The Kerrobert Composite School held an exchange program with students from James Lyng High School in Montreal, Quebec.

In March, KCS sent 16 students to Montreal to learn more about the historic city in Eastern Canada. Montreal is the second largest city in Canada with over 3.6 million residents, second to only Toronto, Ontario with just shy of 5 million. Kerrobert carries over one thousand people in their town.

The Kerrobert students stayed in downtown Montreal, and were quite busy during their short time in the big city. The students went on a walking graffiti tour which was put on by a graffiti artist who is assigned to turn negative graffiti into positive graffiti. Graffiti is looked upon has a very important tool in the area where the students stayed, as it is a very popular location and can be seen as advertising a brand, or subject.

One of the most ancient and historic cathedrals in Montreal, known as the Notre Dame Cathedral got paid a visit by the students. It is located in the older part of the city, where all of the history is stored upon. The students also toured the Montreal City Hall for an afternoon, and were able to witness the large building.

Just for fun, the students went to eat at two different bagel restaurants and then held a vote to see which restaurant served the best bagels. Over the days, the students were able to bond with one another, and get to witness beautiful scenery within their own country.

Fast forward to May when the Montreal students who are used to living in the second largest city in the country come to visit Kerrobert, Saskatchewan.

13 students from Montreal made the trip to the prairies in which they were also fairly busy touring some of West Central Saskatchewan's most quality complexities.

The one main difference with the two trips was that Kerrobert exchange students were living in a hotel in Downtown Montreal, but the Montreal students got the experience of sleeping in houses of residents in the town.

After settling in the house, the town of Kerrobert held a welcome BBQ where everyone could get to know everyone a little bit better. After the BBQ, there was a haunted court house tour put on by two ladies who are experts in supernatural information. The Kerrobert Court House has a history of haunted stories which brought for an exciting night.

The next tour was held at the Smiley Hutterite Colony.

Before the Montreal students returned home, they were able to sight-see the largest city the province has to offer. During their day in Saskatoon, all of the students participated in an Escape Room game where the groups were separated and had to work together to find one another. After spending several hours at this event, the combined group went to Apex Trampolines to get some exercise, followed by a trip to Fuddruckers. The students in Montreal had never been to one, and were eager to try out something new.

The students returned home to Montreal with new information about the province of Saskatchewan, but also with new friends who will continue to be lifelong.
