The folks with Portage's Rotary Club celebrated a birthday at their meeting earlier today. Brazilian exchange student Victor Pinto Matias had a small celebration at the meeting and says it's a special day.

"I'm seventeen now, a lot of emotion, and I got a Terriers hoodie so it's pretty exciting. Last week I was up in Churchill too, a lot of polar bears and beluga whales. It was a lot of fun."

He says there are some exciting things he's signed up for in the works.

"Next there's a ski trip, it's on the table and we don't know if it's going to happen or not, and I know I'm going to leave a tile at the PCU Centre. A little bit of Brazil is going to stay in Portage forever and ever."

Matias adds he's looking forward to going to more Terriers' games.
