Canada Homestay Network

We've been featured!

We're proud to see the stories of our incredible host families and international students highlighted in The Sarnia Journal.

This feature shares how welcoming an international student is about so much more than providing a place to stay. It's about creating lifelong friendships, embracing new cultures, and building a true sense of belonging for students, host families, and the entire community.

A special thank you to the Barry family and the Lambton Kent District School Board for sharing how international education is creating meaningful connections across Sarnia. Together, we're helping students from around the world feel at home in Canada while enriching communities through cultural exchange.
