Norah: Canada

Seven year old Norah MacLaurin-Hogg lives in the Village of Merrickville-Wolford with her parents, 4 brothers, and her dog named Summer.  Her favourite traditions include celebrating her birthday and Christmas.  Like many other young children in Merrickville, Norah has been involved with the Rideau Bridge to Canada refugee group.  She has already met and played soccer with the refugee children who arrived in late June, “they beat us”, she says.  When asked what she wishes another people knew about her she responded without hesitation, “that I’m smart!”
