Early afternoon, the On The Tip of the Toes group met at Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau Airport in Montreal. Each on of them arrived with luggage, parents, friends, personal history, personality and language, as some participants are from as far as Calgary, Toronto, and Halifax..
Eleven youths and 7 team members are about to embark in a superb adventure as they will discover a lesser-known part of the country: Northern Quebec. Together we will travel the wide-open snowy spaces while discovering the wild country with our native guides. They will also introduce us to their culture and traditions. All this while riding the Nordic vehicle par excellence: the snowmobile.
This sure will be a total change of scenery, which we will remember for a very long time..
But there are still many kilometers to travel before our winter adventure. The bus left around 2: 30 PM with only a brief stop on the way. We will even eat our evening meal on the road.
First exchanges, chess and card games, reading and even a movie will help pass the time, but few will see the whole movie as we have so much to talk about.
The gang arrived in Roberval around 7 PM. Between unloading the luggage, room attribution, a hockey game for some, and a game of loup-garou for others, the evening did not drag long for tomorrow will be a very busy day.
