Dauphin is playing host to an International Exchange student from Norway.

Sigrid Karterud arrived in the Sunshine City just in time to begin her Grade 12 year at the DRCSS.

Sigrid explains how she became part of the Rotary International Exchange Program.

"I wanted to do an exchange program, and my dad knew of a woman who is in a Rotary Club in Norway.  So, he had heard about this exchange program, we contacted her, and she got us involved, and we attended a meeting, and it all sounded very good."

Rotary Club of Dauphin member Brady Johnson says there are two types of International Exchange Programs offered by Rotary.

"One, if a shorter term, about three months. And, Sigrid is here in Dauphin for a year.  So she will be staying with 3 or 4 families, and being a part of our families and our life."

Brady added that Sigrid has been very busy since arriving in Dauphin, playing hockey, soccer, and rugby.
