"International Christmas is a great chance to get involved with Canadian culture together with people from different countries, and that is much meaningful than going out for shopping on boxing day. It is also a great opportunity to meet with new people and get to know other culture. Culture exchange and international dinner might be the events that I enjoyed most and I indeed had a lot of fun. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to celebrate my first Christmas in Canada in Ontario Pioneer Camp and really appreciated that you could provide us this precious chance. Thank you very much."
