> Canada being the easiest place to make new friends > Results of a
HSBC Bank International survey showed Germany, Canada and Australia respectively to be the friendliest
countries in the world, with Canada being the easiest place to make new friends. The study surveyed 2,155
expatriates from 48 countries between February and April 2008. The respondents were asked to rate the
country in four categories: ability to befriend locals; whether they joined local community groups; those who
learned the local language; and those who bought any local property. (The Sun, A10, 12 Dec 2008)
> Sauve Scholars Program > Launched in 2003, this program is a unique opportunity for 12-14 young
