Elias Parent loves history and the opportunity to spend his summer as an interpreter at the Juno Beach Centre in France was an inspiring experience
A second-year History student at Laurentian University, Elias Parent had an interesting summer. He was in France working a seven-month contract as a bilingual interpreter for the Juno Beach Centre, enriching the educational experience for visitors to the centre from all over the world.
“I’m a history buff, especially when it comes to World War Two and the Cold War,” Parent said. “History is so important. It’s a subject that we cannot forget because looking back at history can help us prevent future mistakes. We learn from the past.” Thanks to multicultural and multilingual interactions with visitors and other workers at the centre, Parent has even picked up a little Italian and some German along the way. “I love sharing history with people and enlightening them about important historical events. I’ve had some incredible interactions with veterans from the Korean War, World War Two, and others. Being able to hear about these people’s experiences has been powerful.
