Educere International College - Calgary, Alberta
April was a fine, warm month in Calgary and all the students have taken advantage of Spring. Everyone joined in for Ukrainian Egg painting and we showed artistic talent from Laos, Korea, Hungary, Quebec, Vietnam and Japan. The process was pains taking and the results were superb. We also went for Thai food this month and learned from Bo how to order and manage to get a group discount. This was a new experience for several of our Korean students and for our French Canadians. The excursion this month was to Lake Louise and to Banff. Activities included hiking at Lake Minnawanka, a gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain and for the less adventurous shopping. We had buffalo burgers at the Rose and Crown and tea at the top of Sulphur Mountain a celebration of nations in the Mountains.
This Friday we are hosting an International Activity Day at EIC for all international students in Calgary. Activities include games, draws, prizes and an international buffet. Barbara will be leaving us this month for two months of working in Dresden Germany. She promises to connect with all of our old German students. Watch for our brand new web-site and learn more about EIC in the new decade.

Interlangues Language School - Ottawa, Ontario
It's May and you know what that means? TULIPS! On May 6th the Tulip Festival will begin. Our students have already started to sign up to do volunteer work at this year's festival. The Tulip Festival is a great opportunity for the students to practice their English with native speakers. The festival needs volunteers and the students want to help. They will greet people at the gates, set up stages for the many concerts, and sell souvenirs. This will also be our activity for May - visiting the festival and having lunch amongst the Tulips. Every year, the Kingdom of Holland sends a million tulip bulbs to Ottawa, the National's Capital to thank Canada for its participation in the liberation of Holland from Nazi occupation on May 5th, 1945.
