The only problem with visiting Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, is that your brain can’t decide which to stare at more, the amazingly beautiful mountains, or the pristine sky blue waters... It’s exhausting!

Here’s Alaïs and Mike with some new friends, crossing a river, on horseback, in the mountains, at Banff National Park... and this is their job. Seriously, they are “working” right there!

Here is Mike, feeling like he is on top of the world (or at least Canada), standing on the Columbia Ice Fields at Jasper National Park.

Alaïs and Mike, clearly a little confused, as they took their first tour of parliament on their first day as Ambassadors. Excitement replaced confusion very fast!

Here is Mike at the Halifax Global Leaders Centre, giving his take on the potential of young Canadians.

Here we have a picture of Alaïs, taken on the Rideau Canal, both a National Historic Site of Canada and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on Canada Day.
