Student Pilgrimage Tour to the UN

Gerry Dunham | Jul 21, 2011

The Harrowsmith Odd Fellow and Rebekah Lodges provided dinner for delegates on the United Nations Pilgrimage for Youth Tour on July 1 and July 8.

For over 65 years the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs have been sponsoring students for this tour. The 14-day tour includes a four-day stay in NY City where they visit the UN and attend workshops as well as visiting other historical sites of the city. The tour also includes visiting historical sites in the United States and Ontario. 

In this picture, taken at the Golden Links Hall in Harrowsmith where the dinner was served, are the delegates from several U S states, western Canadian provinces and Sweden. The menu was all you can eat spaghetti with all you can eat ice cream cups for dessert. The students were very pleased with this menu as they get a lot of meals at the fast food restaurants along the way.
