On Tuesday, October 2, Members of the Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) staff and Board of Directors welcomed guests: Isabelle Mercieca-Coordinator, and Maïa Poulin, M.Sc. Development consultant (NISKA)–a development consulting cooperative which offers training to French about citizen action and community developmentand a group of fifteen students who are directors and coordinators of «Community Centres» and professors in social intervention from France. The visit was to find out about the services of the CABMN and its role in providing these services in a rural community of Quebec. The group was informed by CABMN staff and BOD members about the CABMN services and answered questions posed by the students. The exchange was positive, reflective and enjoyable. Our CABMN was very proud to play host to the students and we extend our thanks to Isabelle and Maïa for choosing us.
