TESTIMONIALS

What some of our past participants have to say...

"Seeing young people learn the culture, the language was extremely empowering. It demonstrated the strength and solidarity of our communities that we so seldom talk about and so seldom see in the media."
Krysta Williams, 23, University of Waterloo

"I went into this exchange ready and hoping for a ground-breaking experience and I wasn't disappointed. Both challenging and liberating, this experience is something I will never forget. To date it has provided me with one of the truest educations one could ever gain from life, one not based in a confining class-room. I would recommend this exchange not just to my closest friends but to every world citizen for although it has provided me with a much clearer and broader knowledge of Canada it has also provided me with a clearer knowledge of humanity. Overall it has taught me the value of listening and respect and for that I am truly fortunate."
Deanne LeBlanc, 20, University of Toronto

"I realized learning about Canada through a textbook is no way to learn about Canada."
Ian Wiley, 19, University Of Toronto

“I learned more during the one week of the program than during my whole university education. This dynamic and on-the-ground program was a true breath of fresh air compared to the standard classroom-based learning experience.”
Julita Pacholczyk, 24, University of Toronto

“Seeing so many Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal youth interested in learning about Native culture encouraged me to rediscover my Native roots. I want to come on every Canadian Roots trip!”
