Squamish Triathlon

My most recent achievement is completing the Squamish Triathlon last weekend. Over 300 participants raced the Olympic size course. It is incredible what you can do when you put your mind to it. I am excited to see what goals and feats Quest students will achieve in the coming months!

Here are some picture of the event.

Pictures of Hong Kong

The Avenue of Stars features a statue of Bruce Lee.

Young girls in traditional dress getting ready for a parade.

So many colorful dragons danced in the parade. The parade was just one of the many ways Hong Kong will celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the hand over of power from Britian to China

A beautiful trip on the Star Ferry that crosses between Hong Kong and the Kowloon Peninsula The start of a an escalator that runs for over 2 kilometres directly through the center of the city.

Foods from around the world...

One of my favorite things about traveling is food: trying new dishes, learning new recipes and getting a different perspective about my own food choices.
Here's a link my good friend, Aatri, sent me that shows a weeks worth of food (and costs) from many different families from all over the world.

I look forward to tasting the specialties in Hong Kong tomorrow. I'll be sure to take some pics!

Visiting Hong Kong

Hello! I will be visiting Hong Kong from June 20th-26th. If there are any students that would like to meet or have advice on what I should see in their beautiful city, please feel free to email me at keely.stott@questu.ca.

A Good Holiday with Great Friends....

If I could offer recent high school graduates one piece of advice, it would be to....keep in contact with your friends. Despite busy schedules and other pressing day to day stresses, my closest high school friends and I had made a pact to always go away together one weekend in May. This year we went to Manning Park, B.C. I can honestly say that it is the most fun of my entire year. So hold on to your high school friends...as you get older, it becomes a tough thing to do but it's definately worth it!

113 Days....

113 days until we welcome students on campus. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am. We have applicants from all over the world and ,finally, I will get to meet them in person!

Today, I went to the campus and here are the most recent photos...
