This visit gives the student an insight into life in Canada.

Canada is a rich country but it also enigmatic.

There are magnificent natural sites – nothing rivals the Niagara Falls – yet its great national parks face pressures from people, pollution and climate change.

Canada is a stable democracy, and an exemplary bilingual state, yet its native people, the First Nations, were terribly mistreated until only a few years ago.

Canada’s universities – we visit a couple of the great ones – are accessible to students and academics from all over the world, many of whom then make Canada their new home. On the other hand, Canada’s greatest city, Toronto, our starting-point and end-point, also struggles with the education and social integration of its multicultural community.

Canada is great, safe, beautiful – but also challenging. We cover all of these in an intensely rewarding 2-week visit.
