Guest Speaker - Grade 11 Law

On Wednesday, the grade 11 law class welcomed three guests to the class.  Gary Schellenberger (MP for Perth Wellington), Gary Long (executive assistant) and Jasmine Pickel (DCVI graduate.)  Jasmine is currently taking political science at Ottawa University and volunteering at Gary Schallenberger's Ottawa office.  She is enthusiastically pursuing a career related to politics.

Mr. Schellenberger talked about the importance of people being involved in their community.  He stressed that if you set goals, and are persistent, surprising things can happen for you.  He commented on such current topics as:  the legal age of consent being raised to 16, his thoughts on whether or not he thinks there will be a federal election in the near future and the role that Canada is likely to play in Afghanistan in the future.
