Projet Karyne - A Visit to Cornwall!

On April 13, we visted Cornwall to attend the "Power the Future" event put on by the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce. This event included a solar car race. Solar cars were created by ten different area high schools according to certain guidelines. The students brought their cars to the Ramada Inn where they were raced on a track and judged on various levels. It was great to see so many students involved.

After the race, we attended a book-signing and luncheon with Dr. David Suzuki. Dr. Suzuki spoke for over an hour on the state of the environment, how we got to where we are and the urgent need for us to do something about it.

Maybe we could organize a race like this in Ottawa!

Here is a photo of Elyse with Dr. Suzuki.

A letter from David Suzuki to Elyse in March 2007:
