Students at l’École des Sept-sommets have made it to the finals in a national flash mob contest.
Flash Ton École (Flash Mob Your School) was open to francophone schools across the country, and Rossland’s francophone students submitted a video of themselves singing and dancing to “Moi, J’aime Skier” (roughly translated as “Me, I Like to Ski”).
The contest is part of Les Rendez-vous de la Francophonie, an initiative of the Canadian Foundation for Cross-Cultural Dialogue, whose mandate is to promote and support dialogue among the Francophone and Acadian, and all other communities in Canada.
Sept-sommets was one of 25 out of 52 schools to make it to the finals. To win and collect a bursary — $3000 for first place, $1000 for second place, or $500 for third or fourth place — the school needs help from the community in the form of online votes.
