HOMESTAY CALGARY is an organization that promotes the CALGARY area as a homestay destination. It is comprised of CANADIAN volunteers and students of various nationalities. We introduce students to homestays. Also, we help students who come to CANADA through us to adjust to their new environment and new customs. We offer information on ESL courses and information on CANADA.

We made a step for our web site with a new domain WWW.HOMESTAYCALGARY.COM. This is a great step for us and students who want to study in Calgary, because our homestay families are willing to meet international students like you. We believe that students will have fun and have a good impression of us in Calgary. That's what we stand for.Thanks for your attention and consideration. Always, we try to provide reliable information about ESL school and Calgary.

Hello
It is always exciting to receive a new application.
I am Arie van Vliet and I am the volunteer Vice-president- Communication (I send the
e-mails) and chauffer for Homestay Calgary.

My goal is to make the expression "ay caramba" popular in Korea and Japan.
It is a Spanish expression used mostly in Mexico meaning "oh, dear", "oh, my goodness", or "oops".

I am a Canadian originally from the Netherlands. I enjoy sending and receiving e-mail.
My wife Carrie (volunteer homestay co-ordinator) and I enjoy meeting new arrivals at the
airport and introducing them to their host families.

We try to provide families that are friendly and kind. That make you feel welcome and comfortable by treating you like a family member.

Our homestays are carefully chosen by visiting and interviewing them on behalf of the students.

Calgary is the home of the world famous cowboy festival called The Calgary Stampede. The entire city dresses up like cowboys and there are free stampede breakfasts in various locations everyday.

It is held in July for a 10 day period. We hope you enjoy the Calgary atmosphere with our homestay families.
