Isn’t Canadian culture pretty much the same everywhere, aside from differences between English and French?
Canada is a huge country consisting of ten provinces and three territories with two official languages and many minority populations. Since Katimavik volunteers come from a variety of different socio-demographic contexts, volunteers will have the chance to experience first hand the challenges and rewards of living in a diverse environment. As well, each host community will have its own set of values and culture. Volunteers will be observing cultural differences and adopting open attitudes towards social and multicultural realities.
