进入一楼大厅后,我们需接受检查,因为这是正在使用中的省政府办公大楼。工作人员接待了我们并做介绍讲解。参观至二楼时,我们遇到了阿尔伯塔省的省长,她很热情地和同学们打招呼。经工作人员的介绍,我们了解到了有5位杰出的伟大女性,她们为了女权而斗争,最终做出了里程碑式的贡献。之后我们又来到了会议中心参观,给我们讲解议会会议过程的是一位来自卡姆罗斯的议会议员,通过讲解,我们知道了一项议案如何才能够成为法律的过程。讲解结束后,在问题时间里,同学们都积极地提出了自己的问题,议员均耐心地给予回答。这位省议会议员对宿苏外学子们的前来参观表示热烈欢迎,并表示下周有空会去我们就读的学校看望我们,他的热情让孩子们感到很亲切。因为议会中心是省政府办公中心,所以我们只能参观这里的部分场所。之后我们就来到了影厅,观看加拿大的历史影片。最后一站是展厅,在这里,我们更直观,更详细地了解了加拿大各个方面的发展历史,也更加清楚地了解了政府议会的角色和义务。另外,展厅里还有小型的议会模拟场所,有权杖,主席位,及首相、下议院警卫员、法官等的服装,宿苏外的孩子们也亲自体验了手握权杖,端坐主席位,感受议会主席的威严。

  

After entering the first floor of the building, we were required to receive security check because it is in use by the government of Alberta Province. A staff member gave us a warm reception and made introductions for us. When we came to the second floor, we met Premier of Alberta Province, who greeted the students with enthusiasm. According to our guide, we got to know that there were five famous women in the history of Canada, who struggled for women’s rights and finally made milestone contributions for all women in Canada. Following our guide, we came to the meeting house for the Assembly of Alberta, where a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Camrose gave us introductions and from him we understood the process of law-making --- how a bill can become a law. After the introduction from the MLA, it was the question time, when the students all raised their questions actively and the MLA responded to them with patience and smile. To our great delight, the MLA expressed his warm welcome to our students from Suqian Suzhou Foreign Language School (SSFLS), and he also told us that he would go to Camrose to visit us if he was free next week, whose enthusiasm made our students feel at home. We were only allowed to visit some of the building because the office building is the working place for the government of Alberta Province. Our next stop was the Video Hall, and we watched the film about Canadian history here. Our last stop was the Exhibition Hall, where we had a full and detailed understanding of the development history of Canada in different fields and we also got to understand the role of the Assembly of Alberta and its duty and power. In the hall, there was a Mock Legislature, where there were a mock mace, the mock seat for the Chair of the Assembly and the mock clothes for Prime Minister, Sergeant-at-Arms, and some Judges. Our boys from SSFLS all sat on the chair for the Speaker of the Assembly with the mace in their hands to feel the solemnity.
