Our family has hosted since 2011, and have sincerely enjoyed sharing our Canadian culture with our students.
We have visited Japan, Mexico, France, England, the Philippines and hope to add many more countries.
We host parents are in our 40s, busy raising our kids. Twice a week let us know if you'd like join us for a walk or attempt to play basketball or badminton . Our skills are questionable but we can have fun. We welcome our home to students who understand the importance of considerate living able to look after their area all in a tidy clean manner.
Just a little note - Smokers are welcome to apply =) Please know smoking is ONLY permitted OUTSIDE - 6 metres from any entrances and must comply with bylaws.
