Still time to vote for local student's Pier 21 video

There’s still time to help a local student get to Canada’s History Youth Forum in Ottawa this fall.

St Luke’s Alexandra Dech is involved in the national Young Citizens contest.

Her video is about Pier 21 and documents her family’s arrival in Canada from Italy in 1966.

“I read a lot about Pier 21 but I never really understood it until I heard my family’s story of landing there in 1966,” says Dech, in a release. “When I was shooting my video at the edge of the Halifax Harbour, it was hard to believe that I was standing on the same floor where they took their first steps in Canada.”

Voting wraps up tomorrow (Friday).
