Women's World Cup Soccer Game

Last Friday we went to see a FIFA Women's World Cup soccer game.  We actually got to see two matches, Australia vs. Nigeria and U.S. vs. Sweden.  It was a lot of fun, between the Nigerian band which played during the entire first match, and then the overwhelming number of Americans in Winnipeg to cheer on the U.S. team. 

Last week was also Leo's birthday, and thank you to his homestay mother for sending a photo of him celebrating at the always popular Montana's.

June is Here

It is the last month of school!  John Taylor recently had their International Student lunch to wrap up the year.

We went to the zoo,

Went to Shaw Park Stadium in downtown Winnipeg for a baseball game,

and Sarah had a birthday!

We still have two more events to go, a FIFA Women's World Cup game this Friday, and Cirque du Soleil later this month.  Good luck with exams!

Year-End BBQ

Last night was our annual year-end BBQ where we get to say goodbye to students for another year and congratulate our graduates.  What a great group of students we had this year!

It's hard to believe another year is almost over but we do have quite a few activities left before we are done--the Assiniboine Park Zoo this Saturday afternoon, a Winnipeg Goldeyes baseball game, a FIFA Women's World Cup soccer game, and Cirque du Soliel, so there's still more to experience!

Cultural Activities

This Friday evening there will be a free screening of a Korean movie with English subtitles at McNally-Robinson Booksellers at Grant Park Shopping Centre.

There is also an Asian Canadian Festival at the Forks on Saturday and Sunday under the canopy, with cultural performances including a drum festival.  You can see more information here.

And Sturgeon Heights had a cultural activity as well last week, the annual international student lunch, where international students make and serve foods from their home countries. 

Stars on Ice

Last week we attended Stars on Ice at the MTS Centre.  It is always such a great show with amazing skaters.  It is definitely worth seeing, and everyone had a great time.

Next week will be our year end BBQ on Tuesday, and then the Assiniboine Park Zoo on Saturday afternoon.  And we will also be seeing the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra this Friday evening!

Happy Manitoba Day!

Today is Manitoba Day, so it seemed like a good time to post some pictures from our tour of the Manitoba Legislative Building last week.  We had a great tour guide who showed us many features of the building.  We also got to see a few minutes of Manitoba's government in session and also meet with the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Assiniboia, Jim Rondeau.
