The second annual Notre Dame Grade 10 Ottawa Trip set off across the 407 and along the 401 on Thursday November 6 with 33 students and 3 teachers aboard. What followed was two and a half days of fun and friendship with a bit of learning thrown in for good measure.

The History and Civics scholars enjoyed the modern performance art at the National Art Gallery before heading to Kanata to watch the Senators soundly defeat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 at Scotiabank Place. Visits to Parliament Hill, the Supreme Court of Canada, the National War Museum, and the Governor General's residence, Rideau Hall as well as the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Quebec followed in quick succession. Mrs. Lopes, Mrs. LaCivita and Mr. Lawlor kept the students focussed and on time. Everyone enjoyed the sights, some free time in the nation's capital, two nights in the hotel and life on the bus.
