Foreign students need local homes GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca (CHI), a non-profit network that works in partnership with school districts, like the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), to provide foreign students with safe homes and caring host families. commodate a minimum of 10 foreign students, which would justify the UCDSB providing room in its budget for an English- as-second-language (ESL) support program for Rockland.

to give them a safe home," Manning said, "giving to someone else’s child what you’d want for your own children if they were liv- ing abroad." Manning noted that single-parent fami- lies, retirees, widows and widowers can also qualify as homestay families for CHI, and there is a stipend provided to help offset the extra expenses. The benefits of being a homestay family works both ways also, Manning noted. "It’s a learning curve for everybody," she said, adding that some homestay families keep in touch with their billets for years af- ter they’ve returned to their native land. "It opens up a whole new world." For more information on the CHI billet- ing program phone Manning toll-free at 1-877-441-4443, extension 2043, email bmanning@canadahomestayinternational. com, or go to www.canadahomestayinter- national.com. Mme Villeneuve ajoute également que le secteur dit transactionnel, soit celui qui ac- cueille les membres pour leurs transactions courantes au comptoir, sera également modernisé. «L’espace des caissiers sera donc agrandit afin de mieux servir nos membres et leur of- frir l’espace nécessaire pour effectuer leurs transactions», précise-t-elle. L’entrepreneur général chargé du projet de construction, Daniel Côté Construction, est une compagnie de Rockland. «Nous sommes fiers de contribuer au développe- ment économique de Rockland et de la région en engageant des compagnies lo- cales», a ajouté Mme Villeneuve.
"We’ve had students here off and on for the past several years," said Brenda Man- ning, CHI representative for the Upper Can- ada region. Now the CHI wants to extend the host family arrangement it has for the UCDSB to include Rockland and its local English high school.

"We are trying to build a host base in the Rockland area," Manning said. The agency needs enough billets to ac-
ROCKLAND | They are far from home be- cause they came to Canada to learn and study English. Now they need a home away fromhome so they can attend school and practise what they are learning. Foreign students are a part of almost any high school profile in Canada now and not just the special purview of colleges and uni- versities. High school students from abroad want to improve their English-language skill and experience Canadian culture while continu- ing to pursue their regular studies. One problem for these students is finding someplace to live while they experience the Canadian way of life. Enter Canada Homestay International
Right now the kind of ESL students that CHI and the UCDSB are looking at for Rock- land are "high fluency" students. They are well-versed in English and want to immerse themselves in an environment where their primary language would be both the for- mal English they have learned and also the vernacular English of everyday normal con- versation. As for the host families, the main criteria for CHI is that English be the primary lan- guage in the home and that the host fami- lies are ready and willing to treat their stu- dent billets like they are part of the family.
