“Hosting asks for generosity and trust, and the families who take it on tell us it benefits them as much as it benefits the student,” Barber said. “We know our families have so much to offer young people from around the world. Our welcoming rural communities are safe places for students to learn and explore what it means to be Canadian.”

Families who host a student must provide the student with a private bedroom, three meals a day and a place in the family’s daily life.

Canada Homestay Network (CHN) also screens and places students and visits homes as part of that process.

Families curious about hosting can join a virtual homestay information session set for Thursday, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m., led by CHN.
