“We would have another wonderful trip,” said Dalziel, “it would just be at a different location within Europe.”

At this point that’s not happening, as Dalziel said the locations are still considered safe. She admitted there is a lot of unrest and unease in some European countries, citing recent attacks in Paris, but said there are also dangers closer to home.

“If you look next door to Regina, there were four knifings in Regina this past weekend,” said Dalziel.

There are currently just under 40 students registered to go to on the Greece and Turkey Trip scheduled for next spring. The Prince Albert Youth Travel Club ensures there is one chaperone per 10 travelers.

Dalziel said families are welcome to attend an informational meeting Monday Nov. 23 at 8 p.m. at Messiah Lutheran Church in Prince Albert. Students in grades 9-12 can sign up for the trip while parents can ask questions and get more information on the destination.

Dalziel said families who register their teenagers by Nov. 30 will get $150 off the cost of the trip.
