The local public school board is looking for families to host international students in the coming year.

The Lambton Kent District School Board is expecting roughly 100 students from 23 countries during the 2024-25 school year.

Through the Canada Homestay program, local students also get the opportunity to develop global competencies to help them in the future.

Through the program, prospective host families are screened and provided support and financial support.

Families interested in learning more about becoming a homestay host are invited to contact the LKDSB’s Relationship Manager.
