New CSLI and CanadaWide a Big Success in Victoria
CSLI, along with our CanadaWide partners proved very popular with agents at this month's CEC Agent Fair in Victoria.  Interest and sales have doubled again this year and CanadaWide is attracting students who are wanting to combine English study with travel across Canada, long and short-term. The Fly-For-Free (between our schools) package now offers new programs, including the CanadaWide Academic option (for students wanting to study long term, 3 to 6 months at different schools) and a 5-Star Special (2 and 4 week programs at all five schools with spectacular off-season rates). These packages will be officially released in two weeks on the new CanadaWide website.

International Cuisine Graduation
At this month's graduation, students were treated to a wonderful variety of foods when our head chefs, one from each country represented at CSLI, cooked up their ethnic specialties.  In all, 15 countries offered their special dishes for others to try and taught them to ask for a sample in their own language.  It was our one day a year when no English is allowed!  CSLI offers a different themed graduation at the end of each month, in which all students participate together.  Watch for an update on next month's celebrations, which will be a Christmas lunch held at the Directors' home!

All These for Free...
of many great reasons to study at CSLI is that we take both study and play seriously!  CSLI students all have the opportunity to enjoy Vancouver by going on excursions, trying new sports and crafts, seeing the sights, learning about our multicultural city, taking in the arts and spectator events all for free!  In November we offered these free Friday activities:  going to an IMAX movie, visiting an art gallery, Planetarium & Space Centre tour, Vancouver Grizzlies basketball game, pub night, bowling & billiards, kickboxing lessons, pottery painting class, Singaporean lunch, guitar lesson and t-shirt painting class among several other choices.  Academic choices included:  public speaking class, resume writing & interview skills class and business telephone skills class.

CSLI Students Get Involved
A big part of our students' study experience is that they have the opportunity to experience special holidays, as well as take part in the Canadian way of life.  Remembrance Day brought Ms. Joanne Walter from the Vancouver Poppy Fund to CSLI, who gave us all insight into this meaningful day.  CSLI students also opened their hearts to less fortunate children by donating a toy to the Children's Christmas Wish Fund in exchange for a wonderful breakfast at the Pan Pacific Hotel, which got everyone in the holiday spirit with its beautiful Christmas decor.

See you next month!
