Study Abroad Canada - Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
Spring has finally arrived on Prince Edward Island, and everyone is enjoying the new warmer weather.
Study Abroad Canada is pleased to announce that its new brochure is now available for download or by mail distribution. This update well represents the “family” feeling that students have when they study with us on Prince Edward Island. The warm colours and photos reflect the friendly atmosphere of our school, city and province. Of course, to know what it is really like, you need to come to Charlottetown.

In other exciting news, Beth Janzen, one of Study Abroad Canada’s teachers, has recently had book of poetry published. We are very proud of Beth and her accomplishment. The book, Night Vanishes, is available in book stores on Prince Edward Island. Well done, Beth!

This month’s Friday activities are: touring Green Gables, Volleyball, Ceramics Class, and our second annual fishing tournament. Last year’s fishing tournament was a huge success with the winning fish weighing in at almost 3 kg.

POINT3 Language Centre - Montreal, Quebec
Spring in Montreal...
The month of March started off remarkably mild - in fact, last month's heaps of snow were reduced to puddles with all the sunshine we had. But as I write this, there is more snow falling...and just when we thought winter was over!

The 180th consecutive edition of Montreal's St-Patrick's Day parade was, as always, an event for ALL Montrealers - everyone is Irish on St Patrick's day, after all! Canada's Prime Minister, the Honourable Paul Martin, walked the parade route alongside the floats, musicians, dancers and dignitaries.

Cabane à sucre / Visit to the Sugar Shack
Spring would just not be spring without a visit to one of Quebec's sugar shacks or cabane à sucre. And boy-o-boy, did we eat a lot! After such a meal, we needed some fresh air and a bit of exercise. Luckily we were right next to Mont-St-Gregoire, so up to the top (or near the top anyway) we scrambled, amidst a mini-snowstorm. Getting down the mountain was more of a challenge, and many of us literally slid all the way down! I'm sure many of us had dreams filled with all things maple...

Interlangues Language Centre - Ottawa, Ontario
March at Interlangues
This month we visited a traditional Canadian "Cabane à sucre" or "sugar shack" as it is called in English. For many of our students, this was the quintessential Canadian experience. Maple syrup is one of Canada's most famous symbols, so our students were surprised to hear that maple trees only grow in the eastern part of Canada. We had a horse-drawn wagon ride around the farm to see where they collect the sap (maple syrup comes from this sap), a tour of the area where they actually make the syrup and finally a meal of homemade pancakes and beans with maple syrup.

We kicked off our teen program this month. Every year we welcome teens from all over the world - including Canada - to our school to study English. Some of these students are also preparing to enter Canadian high schools. Interlangues works closely with staff at local schools to help place international students in the public or private school system. For more information on how this program works contact our ESL department.

Groups Here, Groups There, Groups Everywhere
Canadian College played host to many groups this spring, most of them being from Mexico and Japan, joining other students from Brazil, Taiwan, Korea, Switzerland, Hungary, Thailand, and Germany. Great fun was had by all, especially at our famous "group graduation karaoke parties".

The Land of Hockey
What better way to enjoy and experience Canada than to learn the art of hockey. Students enjoyed playing "street hockey" outside of Canadian College in our Bastion Square courtyard, next to the Inner Harbour. It was mostly the guys versus the girls. Guess who won? Write us at admin@canadiancollege.ca to find out. We will send you a reply.

The spirit was festive and great fun was had by all. St Paddy's day gave us a sampling of Irish Potato Soup and a little green beer to chase it down.

On the first Friday of March, we all went to Peter's Drive-in for their famous burgers and shakes and we followed it with a visit to the Imax theatre. The following Friday we went to see the Bog People Exhibit at the Glenbow Museum.
