鈥淩ight out of a movie, somebody came by on a motorcycle (and) snatched the bag that was holding all the passports,鈥� Bruce Campbell, spokesperson for the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, told 麻豆影视 Channel.
The school board has been in contact with the Canadian consulate in Cambodia and the Canadian embassy in Thailand for emergency passports, but both were closed over the weekend.
Campbell said everyone on the trip now has the proper documentation and should arrive back in Canada on Saturday morning.
鈥淭hey look like they鈥檙e having fun, but I鈥檓 sure at this point -- getting close to Christmas -- they just want to get home,鈥� he said.
Campbell said the school board is planning to continue sending students abroad for similar projects.
