Winnipeg and District Conference



After our stay in Prince Albert, we drove down (12h) to Winnipeg where the Rotary District Conference was to be held. The drive down went surprisingley well thanks to our humoristic drivers from Prince Albert. We were also very thankful for all the breaks we were able to have. All those of you who did some driving with our team during our GSE probably noticed we need lots of small breaks :) We also therefore call ourselves the "restroom group"...

In Winnipeg, we the girls, again stayed in the lovely hostfamily of Eva and Charlie. They had a sence of humour that was just perfect and they were so helpful and great hosts during the last days of our stay in Canada. We laughed a lot and even had the opportunity to go shopping together. Thank you for that!

The district conference was a perfect ending to our GSE trip, because we met many of the nice people we had got to know earlier in the different towns. We also had the pleasure to meet with the Canadian outbond team again, and they are just great. We enjoyed their presentation on their GSE in Finland a lot. Hopefully, the crowd didn't feel they got too much on Finland, since we also gave our presentation on our country there.

During the district conference the evening programme was really wellplanned and entertaining. On Friday we went with an old train to a barn for a western-style BBQ where all the five Finns were seen line-dancing and enjoying it :) On Saturday, the day ended with the District Governor's Gala Dinner and we were able to enjoy the evening with all our new friends. Thank you district 5550 for hosting us so well!
