Seasons Greetings
As everyone gets prepared for the upcoming holidays we would like to extend our appreciation for your interest in CanadaWide and your continued commitment to make it a success. In the upcoming year we have plans to launch a new look and feel to our website, brochures, and marketing information. From all of the directors and schools of CanadaWide, "Have a wonderful holiday season and may the best be yet to come in 2004"!!!

Interlangues - Ottawa, Ontario
Halloween and the trip to Gatineau Park were great successes. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful foliage. November also has its solemn moments. On November 11, the students and teachers headed out to the National War Memorial to take part in the Remembrance Day Memorial. This is always a somber day. Everyone has their own reasons to remember and we thank our students for contributing.

Now we are winding down for the Holidays. We will be closed from December 20 to January 4 inclusively. Many of the students will be using this opportunity to visit the rest of Canada or explore our region. There are so many activities in our region in the wintertime, such as skating, skiing (downhill and cross-country), snowboarding and snowshoeing.

We also look forward to the return of Nina, our ESL Coordinator, who has been on vacation in Europe for the last two weeks. We hope you are enjoying your trip Nina and wish you a safe journey home!

We wish everyone Happy Holidays and a great New Year!

We look forward to seeing at Interlangues in the New Year!

KIOSK International - Toronto, Ontario
KIOSK Language Centre in downtown Toronto opens the door to action, excitement, shopping, all the attractions of a big city! At KIOSK you have a home base with friendly teachers, new friends, and safe homestay families. In December the smell of the Christmas tree and bright lights change the lounge into a holiday spot perfect for photos and parties. Skating, skiing and a trip to Niagara Falls are part of winter fun. For students from Mexico or Saudi Arabia or Vietnam seeing snow for the first time is an exciting moment.

ESL classes provide lots of time for students to practice all their new English skills. The "English Only" conversation lounge is a great place to chat with classmates. In the computer lab, students use innovative pronunciation software to practice speaking like a native.

High school students complete grade 11 and 12 at KIOSK International College and attain high TOEFL scores for university admission. Start winter semester January 5 /04 and stay for summer semester in May. Interesting courses include Accounting or International Business as well as Mathematics plus many English courses.

KIOSK hosted a cocktail party for Toronto Board of Trade members who enjoyed yummy Mexican appetizers while discussing today's global workplace. KIOSK's corporate programs assist many employees develop English skills so they can work more confidently in Toronto companies.
The weather is chilly but our hearts are warm at KIOSK. We wish everyone a peaceful holiday season. http://www.canadawide-english.com/kiosk.htm

POINT3 - Montreal, Quebec

Our students are also great chefs!

Montrealers LOVE to eat! And we were fortunate enough to be treated to delicious spaghetti sauces made by two of our students, Angelica and Toshi. And two of our Swiss students, Michelle and Stephanie, made a national specialty, rostie. We definitely enjoyed these yummy potato pancakes!

Thank-you, merci, gracias, arigato, danke schoen to our talented chefs!

Ice Skating
We went to the Atrium, Montreal's warmest skating rink - it's indoor! Some had not put on skates since they were wee little tots, so it was kind of like trying it for the first time...

... a well-deserved break off the ice!

The holidays are nigh...
We got a head start on the holidays and made some wintry greeting cards to send to far-away family and friends.

And...More Food!

What would our month be without a dinner out with the gang? This time around we went to Shambala, for a Tibetan feast!

Up and coming...
In December we'll be making gingerbread houses, having a jam session, trying a Japanese New Year's tradition and without a doubt - eating at another amazing restaurant!

The winter season and piles of snow certainly do NOT dissuade Montrealers from enjoying the outdoors (and indoors too, of course!). Right in the midst of the city you will find outdoor skating rinks and trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. And the downhill ski slopes are a just short drive away!

Montreal has some of the best restaurants in the world, fabulous shopping, and a great nightlife - imagine, you can experience all this AND learn English or French at the same time- IF you come to study at POINT3!

From all of us at POINT3, have a very happy and healthy holiday season.
