Sharing Hidden Gems of Vancouver Island

There are some special moments in teaching when you get to share something truly unique. Although these magic times can happen in a classroom, it is when students are out in the world, experiencing nature for themselves and chasing their own natural curiosity that teaching is effortless and fun.

When the students of Kansai Daigaku Chutobu arrived in Canada from the populated Japanese city of Osaka it must have been quite a shock! Within no time they were improving their English in the classroom and challenging themselves in the Canadian wilderness. They were so keen to learn about their environment they made an extra effort to communicate in English with their Canadian "buddies". While they lauged and played it seemed as if the cultural differences just melted away in the awe of Goldstream Park's "Niagara Falls"
