  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are a family who have lived in UK, Ireland, Eastern Ontario and now BC. We are actually key involved in the community, specifically in music (orchestra, community band, choirs and singing). Two members of the family speak French as well as English. One family member works for the local health authority and another for the library. Lots of knowledge about how newcomers can get involved in the local community.
