Sixteen delegates from Port Hardy’s sister city in Japan were greeted for what the District of Port Hardy calls five memorable days of cultural exchange, friendship, and adventure.
According to the district, visitors were taken on tours of the RCMP detachment, Port Hardy Airport, and the Fire Hall, and took in a variety of crafts.
The district says the generous display of hospitality from families around the area also played a huge part in welcoming the delegates while they were in the area.
“A heartfelt thank you goes out to the local homestay families, whose generosity and hospitality added a deeply personal touch to the experience,” they say. “These families not only hosted the guests but also took them on unforgettable side adventures such as fishing, caving, wildlife viewing, and visits to Alert Bay and Telegraph Cove.”
The district says they’d also like to extend thanks to the North Island Crisis and Counselling Society and BC Transit for supplying transportation during their stay.
