RCMP Youth Academy  - definitely a focus on Law and worth 4 credits for any student that attends but it's so much more than that!  Very impressive on your resume or scholarship applications.  Register now -deadline is Dec 10      Don't let the $600 fee hold you back-you never know what can happen.
And after all this - after you've graduated from Sutherland you could go on to be a PAGE in the HOUSE of COMMONS!  How?  www.parl.gc.ca/hocpage  

Please keep me informed if you apply to any of these programs.

We love to know what Sutherland students are up to!
