On the heels of World Cup fever it’s soccer time. UWinnipeg’s English Language Program has joined forces with Languages Canada and Heartland Language School for the Winnipeg soccer event of the summer with volleyball bonus games played today at the Manitoba Legislative Grounds from 1 – 3pm.
These friendly games are in honour of today’s inaugural World Student Day that is being celebrated across the country with activities also in Halifax, Charlottetown, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. Each city created its own original events with the common goal of raising the awareness of international students and the cultural and economic benefits they bring to their respective destination.
Students come from around the world with the top five source countries being Japan, Brazil, China, South Korea and Saudi Arabia.
