As part of the GRFS High School Summer Program, our Grade 9 students recently enjoyed a memorable educational trip to Niagara Falls organized with the support of the GRFS Mentorship Team.

The day offered a meaningful balance of learning, exploration, friendship, and fun. Students experienced the beauty and energy of Niagara Falls while discovering more about the cultural, natural, and historical significance of the surrounding area.

Highlights of the trip included:

• A Niagara Falls boat cruise
• An ice cream treat
• Exploring local shops and surrounding attractions
• A pizza picnic in the park
• Choosing souvenir magnets
• Learning about Queen Victoria Park
• Discovering the history of Oakes Garden Theatre

Throughout the day, students had opportunities to appreciate nature, explore new surroundings, engage in meaningful conversations, and create lasting memories with their peers and mentors.

The trip reflected an important part of GRFS’s educational and mentorship approach: creating opportunities for young people to learn beyond the classroom, strengthen friendships, develop curiosity, and grow through shared experiences.

A special thank you to Niagara City Cruises for providing our students with an exciting and unforgettable boat cruise experience.

We are also grateful to our mentors, volunteers, and participants whose support helped make this trip safe, enjoyable, and meaningful.

At GRFS, we are proud to provide enriching experiences that support young people’s academic, social, and personal development while helping them build confidence, connection, and a strong sense of belonging.
