This July, Kaitlyn Kitzan, 17 year old, Sacred Heart High School graduate, will join forty of Canada’s top young leaders on a Trade Mission to China. She and her fellow young Canadians will represent their communities and country this August on a delegation which will take them to one of Canada’s priority trading markets: China. This summer’s mission will focus on building connections between Canadian and Chinese business, government, community, and cultural organizations.
A key part of Kitzan’s experience is obtaining mandates, or objectives from organizations in the Yorkton community. Partners will make a financial contribution toward the mission in exchange for information, research, contacts, and connections in the Chinese marketplace.
“I think the most important role of being a Junior Team Canada Ambassador is to represent my community and province,” said Kitzan. “I also look forward to representing the Saskatchewan Agriculture Industry as Saskatchewan’s farmers are growing food for the growing world.”
Kitzan and the other young leaders were selected from hundreds of eligible participants who were a part of Global Vision’s national recruitment and outreach campaign. The mission will take place July 27th – August 15th, 2016.
