Have been hosting people from overseas since 1981 and still in contact with many of them as you could see if looked at my Facebook contacts. most of people have had here have been from Europe Newzealand and Australia. have traveled to Europe and New Zealand to help on there farms Putting hay up in Sweden was best memory.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
might learn as much from activities after volunteering than while helping, very scenic area in summer, would do all the activities I DO if they want and so much to see and do in this area, Have worked with and hosted overseas people since 1981, still in contact with many of them.
think have lumped this section in with the others, time off very negotiable, hope they won't mind me showing them around even if its only beaver or buffalo they want to see I would be happy to show them, If they want to try something like golf they haven't done before, Happy to take them. Riding Mountain Naional park is close, and Duck Mountain provincial park is about an hours drive. have local golf coarse and ski hill and various lakes. Also close to Assiniboine river.
