Twin cities, Lethbridge & Saint-Laurent, sending student delegations
The City of Lethbridge will soon be sending a youth delegation for an exchange opportunity in the Montreal borough of Saint-Laurent, Quebec. It became the twin-city of Lethbridge back in 1967 to promote cultural and social relationships between Eastern and Western Canada.
The upcoming student exchange program will see students ages 14 to 16 from Saint-Laurent travel to Lethbridge at the beginning of July, before Lethbridge sends their delegation east later in August. The City says this is part of a long-lasting partnership that’s committed to strengthening ties cross-country.
The travel expenses are fully covered by the municipalities. The City says applications are coming in fast and they are only taking in five students. Parents can sign their child up on the City’s website before the end of the month.
