Volunteer in Canada with Red-Leaf this summer

Interest in volunteering in Canada continues to grow and applications for 2009 are already surpassing 2008 – despite the gloomy economy! If you are thinking about volunteering this summer or fall, be an “eager beaver” and get your application in soon. Being an “eager beaver” means to be enthusiastic e.g. “Tomaz applied to Red Leaf early – he sure is an eager beaver”. Idioms are a fun way to practice English and they are useful too!

Canada's national symbol the beaver

Did you know that the beaver is Canada’s national symbol? The Beaver is also on our 5 cent coin (nickel).
