Activating the Energy Transition in Shelburne County

The Homestay Program is the heartbeat of the Nova Scotia International Program experience. For students it's a way to learn about the Canadian way of life. For host families, it's an opportunity to gain a new family member. Host families are reimbursed for expenses with a monthly stipend.

Host families are needed in the school districts of Lockeport, Shelburne and Barrington/Cape Island/Woods Harbour areas.
