The Sylvestre family went to hear Commander Chris Hadfield's presentation on Sunday at the Convention Centre. They said: "It was an awesome time. Mr. Hadfiled talked about his experience in the International Space Station and the importance of having a dream. Anyone, at any age, should have a dream to pursue. He was very inspiring and has a very good sense of humour."
The Sylvestre boys stayed after the presentation even though most people were gone. They sneaked back stage to ask if they could potentially see him quickly to shake his hand and it worked out! They gave him a picture of one of the boys beside his rocket telling him this little guy had a dream. "It seemed like he remembered Christophe from last year."
The Sylvestres acknowledged two of the teachers who helped the boys along the way:
"Mrs. Harper-Given, thank you for pointing out this opportunity!
Ms. Alison Boyer, thank you for organizing the opportunity last year."
