Homestay Hosts Needed in Halton
Each year, the HDSB’s International Student Program (ISP) welcomes students into schools, and as a result, our programs benefit, our community benefits and local students create lifelong friendships and global connections. Canada Homestay Network (CHN) is currently looking for hosts in Halton for international students joining the HDSB during the 2026-2027 school year.
The HDSB has received a strong number of applications for the 2026-2027 school year, including several students who will be staying for a shorter period of approximately three to four months. This creates a great opportunity for families who may be interested in short-term hosting.
Hosting an international student is a unique and rewarding experience. You'll give a young learner a life-changing opportunity while creating lasting memories for your own family. As a host, you provide a private bedroom, three daily meals, access to WiFi and laundry and a welcoming, supportive and safe home. CHN offers full training, 24/7 support and a monthly stipend.
CHN will be hosting two virtual information sessions for families interested in learning more about becoming a homestay host:
For more information about becoming a host for an international student, please visit the Become a Homestay Host webpage of the HDSB website (hdsb.ca) or contact hostinfo@canadahomestaynetwork.ca, call 1-877-441-4443 or visit: https://whyihost.ca.
Our Students Shine at the Milton Youth Art Gallery Showcase!
Four of our hardworking and talented Visual Art students have had a really cool opportunity to be included in the Milton Youth Art Gallery Showcase that is being held at the Holcim Gallery in the Art Center!
Brooke J., Suhani P., Robin H. and Anouk C. each have a few pieces on display!
You can see their work if you pop by the Gallery (attached to the Main Library building in the FirstOntario Arts Center) at any point for the next week or so, but there is also an Open House reception being held next Tuesday evening from 6-8pm - see the attached pdf.
We're really proud of them and would love to see you come out and support them if you can!
