Four students from MVHS recently returned from The Netherlands after representing Canada at the International YOUCEE Conference. This conference commemorated the 80th anniversary of Operation Market Garden. It brought together students from countries from the warring nations of World War 2 in the hope that dialogue and culture understanding will help prevent future atrocities.
The students spoke at Canadian War memorials to crowds of hundreds of people, heard from veterans of Iraq, Afghanistan and The Former Yugoslavia, visited the Anne Frank House and laid flowers at Canadian War Cemetaries.
