At the July 16th  Dryden Rotary Club meeting Rotary Exchange student Gustavo provided us with a wrap up speech after more than 10 months in Canada. He recounted his times at school, with host families, with his Rotary family, and with other exchange students.

Gustavo commewnted on such things as snow, cold weather, curling, hockey, fishing, and many more events at school. He took us from the early days when he knew no one, and
everyone knew him, to his days as a member of the Boys Basketball team and the honour of being the most improved player, to DHS soccer and to rhe Dryden High School grad which was a totally different experience from what happens in Brazil.
