Episode Details

After a six-year pause, the sister city exchange between Salmon Arm and Inashiki, Japan, is back on track—with eight Japanese students now visiting Canada and Canadian teens set to return in spring. Despite pandemic setbacks and funding hurdles, the program’s revival is thriving thanks to community support and student enthusiasm. Participants are diving into cultural exchanges: camping, crafts, city tours, and home stays, while teachers—some inspired by their own past exchange experiences—highlight how these connections foster global understanding and personal growth. For students on both sides, it’s more than a trip—it’s a chance to build lifelong friendships across continents.
