Adventures programs
Adventures in Citizenship and High Technology
 
The Rotary Club of Ottawa runs the "Adventures in Citizenship" and "Adventures in High Technology" programs each year. They bring young people from across the country for a four day program of talks and visits. "Adventures in Citizenship" focuses on political and economics issues, with a visit to Parliament. "Adventures in High Technology" is more technical in nature, and covers the latest developments in Information Technology. 
 
We invite the local high schools to nominate candidates, and send one or more students to these programs each year.
