Katelyn Pilgrim is packing her suitcase(s) for a trip to Italy. Where she will be living in Italy for the next year is dependent on the availability of host families. The thawed-out exchange student just back from a winter adventure in Algonquin Park in northern Ontario, spoke to club about her Algonquin experience with other exchange students.

Our young students are Canadian ambassadors who return with the confidence of learning new languages and the customs of other countries.
The Rotary Club of Simcoe has a long history with hosting incoming exchange students and sponsoring outgoing students such as Katlyn.
