Canadian as a Second Language Institute - Vancouver, British Columbia
Open Hearts for Children in Need
Many fundraising events happened this month, as we are sponsoring one of our homestay families again this summer on their annual journey to Mexico to help an orphanage. We are also raising money to send books and school supplies to a school in the Philippines. August fundraisers will include many Olympic events to raise money for other charities.

KIOSK International - Toronto, Ontario
Summer in Toronto is the time to discover and experience sensational activities. Long days, warm evenings and new Canadians from over 150 countries fill the streets with music, festivals and food! Restaurants, pubs, cafes, fashion stores and happy, friendly people are what Toronto is. The lakefront has many beaches for swimming and sports, and parks to play in and have picnics. Shopping, nightlife, sports, concerts and so much more! Toronto has it all! And, best of all, KIOSK's central location is in the heart of Toronto, surrounded by all the urban bustle, 24 hours a day!

"KIOSK gave me the best experience of my life" (Denisse, Veracruz, Mexico). KIOSK Language Centre's experienced teachers and interesting courses build confidence in speaking English. The friendly activity leader and homestay families create a fun environment for students from 9 to 65 years old in camp and adult programs. KIOSK High School helped 12 International students earn Grade 12 credits as preparation for University. We're thrilled to have students in our ESL, TOEFL and English for Business classes from Europe as well as Asia, Saudi Arabia, South America, and our near neighbours, Quebec and Mexico.
Start EVERY Monday.

Interlangues Language School - Ottawa, Ontario
Activities galore!
Our summer children and teen programs have more activities per week than the intensive program. The students continue to enjoy twice-weekly ventures out of the school to play on the beach, kick around the soccer ball, go out for pub nights, to name just a few. Given the number of activities we've had this year, we were pleased to have the help of some ESL teachers-in-training and conversation partners. These monitors gave the teens the opportunity to meet and speak with native speakers their own age, as well as giving some well-appreciated help to the teachers on our excursions. The trip to Toronto was a great success with monitors from Kiosk kindly showing our Ottawa students around the city. It is a great opportunity to visit other cities and have a guide sensitive to a language learner's needs. We also went to Upper Canada Village, a quaint village that relives the 1860's everyday throughout the summer months.

As the summer slips away, more and more of our students are planning to stay long-term. We look forward to watching our students progress toward to their goals, and await new arrivals. This is the best time to make lasting friendships!

Educere International College - Calgary, Alberta
We had many different nationalities this month with students from Argentina, Brazil, China, Congo, France, Japan, Korea, Libya, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. This Global community merged to create 2 classes of BECC and BE Lite along with our traditional ESL courses. The synergy and diversity of our classes has presented us with a wide range of perspectives from which to grow together and to improve our inter-cultural understanding and sensitivity. Together we have enjoyed a Taste of Calgary, Canoeing at Emerald Lake, the Royal Tyrell in Drumheller and the joy of eating Spanish, Thai and Vietnamese food together. It has been a great summer of living and learning together.

Canadian College of Business and Language - Victoria, BC
Victoria Voted Best City
Condé Nast Traveler magazine has voted Victoria best city in the Americas. Cities are rated on various criteria, including ambience, friendliness, culture/ sites, restaurants, lodging and shopping. Victoria scored 96 out of 100 in ambience, second in the world only to Carmel, California. Canadian College President Gerry LaBelle said, "We are already a world destination for education, but being awarded best city in the Americas confirms that travellers recognize that Victoria is a world-class vacation destination. We are seeing an increased demand for education and cultural vacation mix thus drawing more students to this spectacular city."
