"Consulates Attend Grand Opening:"
Representatives from a number of consulates attended the official opening of CSLI on June 15th. They included the German, Austrian, Costa Rican and Peruvian offices. CSLI students from these countries were on hand to show them around our new complex. Lavish food, refreshments and music was provided by Laurell Barker and good fun was had as a variety of spot prizes were presented. Our diplomat friends were very impressed with the new facilities and agreed they are the best they have seen in Vancouver!

"Robin Williams at CSLI:"
Vancouver is fast becoming the city of the stars, especially in the summer when many Hollywood movie companies come here to film. Seen recently with one of our students Jason Chang in Yaletown was Robin Williams, famous comedian and actor. Others stars recently seen here include Janet Jackson, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Angelina Joline and many more. What a great chance to practice your English, if you don't swallow your tongue first! Not only do CSLI students get to meet these famous people but they also have opportunities to act as extras in movies being made here.

"We Bid Jocelyn Farewell:"
After 5 years of incredible service and smiles, our Head Teacher Jocelyn Carscallen is saying good bye. Don't worry, she wont be far as she continues to live in Vancouver and promises to be at our 10th Anniversary celebrations next year. Congratulations to Mark Ainley and Cynthia Watson, who take over the roles of heading our teaching department. Look forward to seeing them in our Feature Teacher section of our web site shortly. With CSLI's growing success, expect to see many of our regular teachers returning for the busy summer season.

"Grad was a Smash!"
CSLI celebrated one of it's most energetic graduations ever at Fred's nightclub on June 28th, where students were treated to free admission and drinks. Special praise went to our June Student of the Month, Kai Franke from germany who over the last 9 months has turned out to be more than your normal student. He has been student newspaper editor, assistant designer in the new CSLI brochure and Student Host, while studying in our Business English class. He will join our other Student of the Month winners at our 10th Anniversary including May's winner, Noriko Saji from Japan. Noriko's endless energy and contributions will be greatly appreciated when CSLI flies her and the other winners back next year.

"Ride Home in Style!"
During the Vancouver bus strike, some lucky CSLI students are being treated to luxury transport to and from school. To make up for the inconvenience of having to find different ways to school, CSLI offers weekly competitions to win a chauffeured limo ride to CSLI and back to their home. This weeks winner was Yu Ran Kim for her perfect singing of "Oh Canada!" (Canada Day is on July 1). Next weeks competition involves naming all the nations flags that hang in the student lounge of CSLI.

"Summer is Hot at CSLI:"
Additional classrooms have been added to handle the extra demand this year. Groups are expected from Italy, Quebec and Vietnam. Special buses are arranged during the bus strike in Vancouver to help these increased number of students. Air conditioning at CSLI will be greatly welcomed during the warm months of July, August and September when temperatures are expected to soar. Many CSLI students are taking advantage of the Canada Day (July 1) long weekend to go visit the Rocky Mountains, Victoria and Whistler. Expect CSLI full again this summer so please make sure to get final registrations in soon to avoid disappointment.

"Charity Auction a Big Success:"
CSLI held it's annual charity auction for a local wildlife society this month. Over a $1000 was raised because of the generous donations by the students and homestay families. The donations followed the nature/wildlife theme and they ranged from home baked cookies to an autographed Vancouver Canucks jersey. A big thank you to all the students, homestay families, and teachers who opened their hearts for a good cause. CSLI also contributed $500 of supplies to an earthquake relief fund in Peru.
