A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada closely resembles the US in its market-oriented economic system, pattern of production, and affluent living standards. Canada is distinguished by its wonderfully vast expanses of wilderness. Wood Buffalo National Park, for example, is larger than Switzerland, while the Northwest Territories cover an area the size of India but have a population of just 58,000. Canada’s lakes, mountains and forests make it a magnet for those who enjoy the Great Outdoors. Hiking, skiing, fishing and a host of other adventurous activities can be enjoyed virtually anywhere in the country, from the wilds of the Rockies to the outskirts of its major cities. These, too, are a revelation, especially Québec, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, all of which are fabulously cosmopolitan, as well as rich in history and culture. |

Our English school for adults is located in the resort only 300 metres from the gondolas and lifts that service both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountain.
The Whistler English school offers part-time and full-time English courses on a year round basis and students can start in either program any week in the year. The ski/snowboard courses are offered only from the first week the ski school is operating (depending on the conditions, usually the third week of November) until the end of May.
