We departed more travellers than ever before and have enroled a record number of students for the spectacular Vimy 100\u00a0commemorative events. The year also marked another milestone in our history: We joined forces with WorldStrides, North America\u2019s largest educational travel organization. As a WorldStrides organization, Explorica travellers now benefit from even more best-in-class services and a larger global support network, while still enjoying the same personalized service from their experienced Explorica program consultant.<\/p>\n<p>While becoming a WorldStrides organization provides even greater value to our travellers, we are also seeking new ways to help teachers extend the travel opportunity to more of their students. I am proud to announce the launch of personal fundraising pages, to enable your students to raise funds for their trip in a fun, easy way. Our aim is to make our tours more accessible than ever before, to help you help even more of your students.<\/p>\n<p>As the leader in Canadian history travel, we\u2019re already looking beyond the excitement of Vimy 100 to showcase some of Canada\u2019s many important contributions during WWII.\u00a0Our commemorative tours for the 75th anniversaries of the Italian Campaign and D-Day will be sure to leave a lasting impression on you and your students.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.explorica.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Dan-Kellerd.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3152 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.explorica.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Dan-Kellerd-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"Dan Kellerd\" width=\"121\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a>Thank you for choosing Explorica as your partner in travel.
