INTRODUCING
Our family includes the 4 of us; our 2 daughters, Emily and Kathleen, aged 17 and 19, my husband, Mark, a Superintendent at a utility construction company, and myself, Elizabeth, an elementary music and Special Education teacher. We are particularly interested in exploring the UK and Ireland. We look forward to visiting historic castles and museums, and being surrounded by beautiful scenery. We particularly like the idea of sharing our home with a family who would respect it the same way we would respect theirs.

Other Comments
We attend worship services at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Wingham, where our family often contributes to the music for services. We find the community very friendly and safe, and many children play freely in the park, at the basketball/street hockey pad, and ride bikes around the village. During the 3rd week of August, Vacation Bible School is offered in the mornings for kids aged 4-13 at the United Church here in Belgrave. We have not exchanged homes before, but hope it will provide an economical way for our kids to experience Europe or the UK, and think that our home is well located for a family to travel 2-3 hours or less within central Ontario and experience varied and fantastic attractions-museums, amusement parks, farmer's markets, conservation areas, water and extreme sports, music festivals, camping, live theatre, the Niagara winery region and Niagara Falls, the city of Toronto, the ferry to Manitoulin Island. There's really too much to list here!
