Mr. Chair, I’d like to introduce to you and through you to all members of the Legislative Assembly, a group of exchange students who are seated in your gallery. These are 77 grade 11 students from Yamate High School in Yokohama, Japan. And they’re in Saskatchewan attending classes at the Saskatoon Catholic high schools. They are accompanied today by teachers, Mr. Jinmi, Mr. Takewaki, Mr. Sato, Mr. Takei, and Mr.
Winskell, as well as chaperons, Mrs. Albers, Mr. Rowley, and Mr. Murdock. They’re also accompanied by David Knight, who is the international student program coordinator for the Saskatoon Catholic schools. Yamate High School is a private high school in Yokohama that was founded to foster global awareness and understanding among nations of the world. All grade 11 students in this school are required to participate in a two-week exchange. The students are staying with the families of Saskatoon residents and will be participating in all family activities during their stay. At this time I’d like to ask all of my colleagues in the Legislative Assembly to extend a very warm welcome to these students from Japan, and we hope that you enjoy your stay in our province and in our country.
Welcome.
