The Club is pleased to welcome Yuuka Kubota, our joint Club’s exchange student from Kamakura, near Tokyo. This special Rotary initiative is sponsored by our Club along with the Rotary clubs of St Catharines and St Catharines South.
Yuuka arrived in Canada on Saturday August 23rd and will be staying with Rotarian Beth Fleeton and her husband Harry Claassen until the end of October. Sixteen years old (turning 17 on October 2nd), Yuuka is being hosted by four host families during her stay here in Canada until July 2026 and will attend Grade 12 at Governor Simcoe SS.
She is a well-rounded student with many talents and interests. She plays piano, sings in the choir, and loves baking sweets, swimming and badminton. Her academic focus is in math and science and is currently looking forward to a career in medicine. As an only child, she has had the opportunity to travel to North America in past vacations together with her parents.
You and your family are encouraged to welcome Yuuka to join you for a walk, dinner, a show, or whatever opportunity you wish to share. We encourage you to grasp this special opportunity and share your personal experiences with Yuuka throughout her year here in Canada.
