Dear Prime Minister Trudeau: We understand that you are under enormous pressure to give up Canadian interests in the negotiations with the USA in order to reach a new NAFTA deal. President Trump is using highly unfair arguments, especially when he targets tariffs that protect Canadian supply management. The USA, like European countries, offers enormous price support programs to farmers in general and dairy farmers in particular. They do that in order to enable farmers to survive an extreme low world-market price for dairy, caused, among other factors, by the American and European dairy producers’ double-digit production increases.

SOUTHWEST BOOSTERX THURSDAY JUNE 21, 2018 A18 Not Ready Yet… Gap Years – for those who want to take some intentional time before heading into postsecondary studies. Gap years have been commonplace in Australia and the UK for decades – young adults choose to take a year away from formal education before heading into their post-secondary institution of choice. These young adults choose to travel the world, take time to mature and to return refreshed for the next stage of studies. In North America, more and more young adults are choosing this pathway; whether it is to help get clarity in career direction, to take a pause to take care of mental and physical health, to gain independence and life skills or to simply learn more about the world around them, both locally and globally, Canadians are benefi ting from this intentional time.

For the past decade, the staff at the Canadian Gap Year Association (formerly mygapyear.ca), have been working with Canadian families who have had a young person take a gap year. We have seen fi rst hand the growth that has occurred within gappers, the maturity and independence that is gained and the life experience that now sets these young people apart from their peers. Those who have taken gap years unanimously encourage others to do the same because of this growth and because of the incredible skills that they now carry forward into their adult life.

We have also seen a shift in the support for this pathway from post-secondary institutions – many will now defer and acceptance to the following year if the young person is choosing to take a gap year. We know that the value of experiential learning is ranking higher in educational training programs and an intentional gap year provides just that.

Young people are choosing to spend their gap years in a variety of ways. Some will choose to travel, some will volunteer locally or abroad, while still others will work. Many young people are choosing to take up hobbies that they have put to the side while striving for top marks or athletics at school, while others want to focus on regaining optimal mental and physical health by focusing on themselves and releasing the stress that has build up over the course of their high school career. No two gap years are alike, just as no two gappers are alike.

Statistics coming out of the US show that those who take gap years fi nish their degrees in fewer years, are more involved on campus and are more likely to be employed than their non-gapping peers. Taking a gap year will set that young person on a path for success.

At the Canadian Gap Year Association, we strive to provide families with the resources they need in order to decide if this is the right pathway for them, resources to decide how to spend the year and provide families with tips and trick for making re-entry back into studies easier. We also work with educators, post-secondary institution and gap year programs to ensure that Canadian students are getting the best experiences possible and are provided with the most accurate information.

Deciding to take a gap year can be daunting because it is not the most frequently chosen pathway and the resources are not readily available (yet! We are working on it!!). We would be happy to speak with you if you or someone you know is considering taking a gap year. We offer 45-minute consultations where we explore what your interests are and then make recommendations based on our research and experience with various organizations and programs.
