As part of their studies on local government, the students in Mrs. Trottier and Mr. Mailloux’s Grade 5 social studies classes at St. David Catholic Elementary School had a very special visitor Nov. 27.
Mayor Paul Lefebvre himself paid a visit to the school.
Principal Dawn Wemigwans described the event as a truly unique experience for St. David Elementary.
"Our students were delighted to meet Mayor Lefebvre, whose inspiring life journey and great sense of humour left a lasting impression,” she said. “His words motivated and encouraged them, making it a memorable day filled with new learning and inspiration."
During his visit, Mayor Lefebvre shared his vision for the City of Greater Sudbury, discussed what inspired him to pursue a career in government, and provided insight into his responsibilities as the city’s leader.
He then opened the floor to questions from the students, which ranged from "What is the hardest part of your job?" to "What is your favourite hockey team?"
To conclude his visit, the students presented Mayor Lefebvre with a St. David’s T-shirt, officially welcoming him as an honorary Dragon.
