opportunity to become part of a new family
and enjoy new friendships. Students have a
private room, three meals a day, and are
included in family activities.
Our International Student Program offers a
homestay program which provides many
services to our international students and their
families. The two staff members personally know most of the families selected for our homestay
program and can assure you they are the safest of
homes. We have also started to organize tours to
complement the student's stay and to ensure they
experience the many highlights Manitoba has to
offer. Students may tour Churchill to see northern
Manitoba and the polar bears, or camp in beautiful
Whiteshell Provincial Park, or attend a Manitoba
Moose Hockey game; the list of activities is endless.
