FDC - 100th anniversary of Canadian Girl Guides


Since 1910, Girl Guides of Canada has been a trailblazing movement advocating for girl and women, providing them with opportunities to discover new interests and develop leader skills. One hundred years agi, the first Canadian Guiding unit was formed in St. Catharines, Ontario, and today there are units in every province and territory.

Throughout its history, Guiding has prepared girls to meet challenges they face through a variety of activities including camping and outdoor advanture. Today, girls can learn about global and cultural awareness, career ecploration, science and technology, and the arts. They work on environmental projects and explore important issues, such as cyber-bullying, self- esteem and body image. Trough these activities, they develop the skills needed to speak out and take action on issues that are important to them. Guiding enables girls to be confident, courageous and resourceful , and to make a difference in the world

Split (Spalato in Italian) is the largest Dalmatian city, the second-largest urban centre in Croatia, and the seat of Split-Dalmatia County. The city is located on the shores of the Mediterranean, more specifically on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, spreading over a central peninsula and its surroundings, with its metropolitan area including the many surrounding seaside towns as well. An intraregional transport hub, the city is a link to the numerous surrounding Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula, as well as a popular tourist destination.

Split is also one of the oldest cities in the area, and is traditionally considered just over 1,700 years old, while archaeological research relating to the ancient Greek colony of Aspálathos (6th century BC) establishes the city as being several hundred years older.






Trogir (Latin: Tragurium; Greek: Τρογκίρ, Trogkir; Italian: Traù; Hungarian: Trau) is a historic town and harbour on the Adriatic coast in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia, with a population of 12,995 (2001)[1] and a total municipality population of 13,322 (2001). The historic city of Trogir is situated on a small island between the Croatian mainland and the island of Čiovo.[2] It lies 27 kilometres west of the city of Split.

Since 1997, the historic centre of Trogir has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.[3]
