Gary Cronkwright, Past Chair of the Board of Directors, arrived late last night – on time and with his luggage in hand. We met for breakfast this morning and then spent the day on a sightseeing tour of beautiful London. I am glad to report that I had a wonderful, and very uneventful day.
We just returned from the Opening Ceremony for WorldSkills London and it was an absolutely amazing ceremony. It began and ended with young people performing song, dance and drama from choirs from four nations: Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales. We have discussed for years the need to make sure the ceremonies were youth friendly and tonight it was on the mark! It even started and ended on time, which was another first for a WorldSkills Opening Ceremony!
They announced that there were nearly 1,000 competitors from 50 countries competing over the next four days, and they are expecting over 200,000 visitors.
Tomorrow I will be heading to the ExCel Center for Day 1 of the competition. We are becoming quite the experts when manipulating our way on the “Tube,” and tomorrow will be another new experience. After having my first walk around the site, I will be staffing the booth at Canada House.
All the best,
All the best,
