Katimavik in Potton
Katimavik volunteers in Potton, Quebec.
In the last federal budget, the government cancelled Katimavik.
The program sent young people out across the country to do volunteer work.
They gained work and life experience while helping out in communities.
This week on C'est la vie, we'll meet some of the last Katimavik volunteers.... and the Quebec community that has welcomed them for more than 30 years.
