Activities and Counseling: Your Personal Counselor!
Montréal
Number 1 Homestay is the only agency in Montréal that will provide you with your
own counselor who is a former student of both Concordia and McGill Universities!
Robert Laliberte, Director of
Programming for Montréal Number 1 Homestay, makes himself available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by
telephone. This service is to
ensure that each student will have peace of mind knowing that there is someone
who is very familiar with the city.
We really enjoy this part of our business, because not only is it our objective to place each and every one of our students in a safe, comfortable, and exciting environment, we also believe it to be our duty to create and run an extensive counseling program to ensure that students familiarize themselves with Montréal, their surroundings, other students, and that they feel they can rely on us to answer any questions that they might have. Montréal Number 1 Homestay will inform you on very useful topics including tipping, taxes, internet, holidays, post offices, and all kinds of tourist info. It helps tremendously to know that Montréal Number 1 Homestay works very closely with the larger universities in Montréal!
Every month, based on the demand from students, a new set of activities can be organized specifically to meet the students’ desires and interests. Students are integrated into Canadian society via visits to museums, movies, art galleries, dinners, night clubs, parks, ski trips, hikes in the country and Montréal Number 1 Homestays cool day trips to places including Ottawa, Québec City and Mont-Tremblant! Activities are always optional and Montréal number 1 Homestay is always looking forward to new suggestions and requests!

We all know the anxieties and
concerns that arise when traveling to another country, particularly for a longer
period of time. It is natural to
miss your friends, your family, and most importantly, the motherly figure that
so many of us enjoy and often fail to realize our emotional dependence and
attachment until we are separated by land and sea.
For this reason, we at Montréal Number 1 Homestay believe to be quite
essential to have available such a motherly figure; and we find our support,
strength and wisdom in such a person, namely June Wright.
