In September, 15-year-old Diana Savenkova arrived from Magadan, Russia, to complete Grade 11 at Pender Harbour Secondary School. It wasn’t an easy trip — she had to wait in Moscow for several days while her Canadian travel visa was resolved with the help of MP Pamela Goldsmith-Jones staff. Savenkova turned 16 shortly after arriving and will finish the school year here in a Grade 11 class made up of only six other girls and four boys. Magadan is a port city in eastern Russia with a population of 100,000. It sits at a latitude of 59 degrees, which crosses BC just 13 kilometres below the Yukon border. Magadan’s main industries are fishing and gold mining. The nearest city is over 2,000 submitted kilometres away via a gravel highway Diana Savenkova (m) is pictured here with the Stewart family, her second of two local best travelled in winter when the road host families.
