The month of September is right around the corner. This means back to school for many people, but at EC, it’s always time for school! We had a very busy summer and welcomed hundreds and hundreds of international students! We welcomed students from over 40 different countries! The world really does come to us!
It is technically still summer until September 20 and at EC Montreal we plan to make the most of the last warm month of the year! We usually experience Indian summer this time of year. The autumn foliage begins but yet it is warm enough to enjoy so many outdoor activities; like piknicing, sports and nature walks!
The month of September is apple season! The province of Quebec has many apple orchards where visitors can go spend the day picking apples in the country. We will be celebrating the apple next month – it is our taste of Montreal in September! We will keep a basket of apples at the front counter every day!
The free social activities on Wednesdays will all have an international theme! We have so many international holidays to celebrate! The first week of September we will be celebrating Brazilian Independence Day! We will have a lot of Brazilian treats to share with our large Brazilian student population at EC!
The following week, we will celebrate Mexican Independence Day with our students! We will serve some Mexican goodies and maybe even play some Latin tunes!
The week of September 18 we will celebrate Saudi Arabian national day! We will serve some wonderful Middle Eastern sweets and ask our Saudi students to dress up in their national dress.
The last week of September will be celebrate Oktoberfest with our German students! We will serve German beer, pretzels and sausages!
What a delicious and festive month we look forward to at EC Montreal!
