Tuesday Nov 11th

Well today was remembrance day, I attended the local remembrance day service at our local "isthmus war memorial" it is so nice to finally have this monument in place. It took alot of work of many people in the community, but its here (and has been for 3 years). I remember back as a teenager in cadets having to travel to dildo, because we didn't even host services, that has since changed. the service was good, a little cold and wet, but thats the least we can do for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom we have today.

After the service i head back to St. John's for another week of classes (well 3 days) just finished off some homework there now and am going to relax for the rest of the night.

This is going to be a fairly busy week, a few assignments due, a test, and lab. On Friday and Saturday, I am attending a youth summit hosted by CPRN (Canadain Policy Research Networks) it is to discuss the issue of "Youth retention and attration" here in Newfoundland and Labrador. I attended a similar dialogue session is September regarding the same issue, and have been selected to head back for this one. We are going to be presenting our ideas to the government, and hopefully some of what we bring to the table can be implmented. As we are finally a have province, one of only 4 in Canada, we stand alongside, Alberta, British Colombia, , Sask. We no longer recieve equalization payments from the federal government. With this added wealth in Newfoundland I am hoping the province can do something to create jobs here for youth, so i dont have to pack up and head to Alberta.

Cheers,
Cor
