Science, biology and space are his top classroom interests. Remi wonders just “how big space is” and has little doubt that ”there are others out there and they may be smarter than us.”

Not bad for a student going into grade 7.

Remi is part of a bilingual family where French is used much of the time around the dinner table.

He is a breaststroke swimmer and will tell you that his skill is genetic; “all the members of my family are strong breaststroke swimmers.

Remi pushes himself, trying to improve his best time every race. “I think about music when I push myself.”

Remi explains that he is part of a team where “we push each other to achieve our best times.

He has been competing for two years and has been a member of the Burlington Aquatic Devilrays for four years.
