HOMESTAY Families: This is a reminder for the Homestay Information Night this Thursday for those hosting students and chaperones in this year's delegation. We will review all important details, the itinerary, and answer your questions in preparation for your guests' arrival.

Please join us for this essential session:

Date: Thursday, October 9

Time: 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM

Location: Manluk Centre, Large Meeting Room (Upstairs)

Recording and Attendance
We understand scheduling conflicts happen, and we will be recording the session for those who absolutely cannot attend.

We strongly prefer in-person attendance if possible, as this allows you to ask questions directly and meet other host families and committee members.

If you have already indicated your regrets, I will ensure the link to the recording is sent directly to you on our website shortly after the session.

If you are just now realizing you are unable to attend, please reply to this email to let me know.

This summer I had the privilege to stand on the shore of the Arctic Ocean. The drive to the ocean and back home was an adventure my family and I will never forget.

Now I’m looking forward to another kind of adventure: welcoming 62 students and 9 Chaperones from Ashoro, Japan, this October 17–24.

If you are looking for your own adventure closer to home, we need homestay families that can host 2 to 4 students or a chaperone.

Please visit our website, send me a message or leave a comment below if you're interested and want more information. Also, feel free to share this post with friends and family.
