Tour and Bus Companies For our trip, we will be working with Bonaventure Tours to arrange our trip. This company will be arranging travel by motor coach with Coach Atlantic.

We will be using school staff as chaperones for this trip. The supervision ratio is 1 chaperone for every 10 students.

Students will be sharing a room based on 4 students per room. Roommate decisions will be made in April.

The itinerary that we have in place now is tentative. There may be activities changed or added before it is finalized. We are still hoping for an opportunity for students to see Cirque du Soleil or a professional soccer game while in Montréal. These schedules are not confirmed yet.

There will be several opportunities for students to fundraise for the trip. The school will organize at least one fundraiser per payment period to help offset the payments. Parent volunteers
