We have been hosting students since 2017. It has been a wonderful experience to connect and have guests become part of our lives. We enjoy meeting new people and learning about their culture, interests and personal aspirations. We are friendly, understanding and approachable. We have two children, boys ages 12 and 14. Both my husband and I work from home and our hobbies include watching movies, video games, hiking, reading and making things with our hands.

Our home environment is warm and caring and safe. Our home is an English Only speaking home. Easy access to the bus and a six minute bus ride to the Runnymede Subway station.
