Canadian Expatriates, its contributors, and readers have been invited by Foreign Affairs Canada to participate in a series of eDiscussions. The current topic is “Showcasing Canadian Culture and Know-How Abroad”.

We are asked to consider the following questions:

What role does Canadian culture and know-how play in our foreign policy?

How might the government best promote Canadian talent and expertise in the world?

The eDiscussion runs from April 4 to May 6, 2005. At its conclusion, a summary of the discussion will be sent to senior policy planners.

The Expat admin team encourages its readers to join in the eDiscussion at the Canadian International Policy website.

The administration team is currently searching for Canadian expatriates who would be interested in contributing to the Expat Blog. The subject matter is wide open, but must remain family friendly.

If you are interested in joining our blogging team, please send an email our way!

Thank you!

A special thanks to Leigh-Ann of The Blog Pound, a fellow Canuck living in the USA, for mentioning Canadian Expatriates on her site and also for giving this Expat the heads up on where to find Coffee Crisp. I believe that a trip to Cost Plus is, indeed, on today's agenda of things to do. :o)

Be sure to drop by Leigh-Ann's site as it is an interesting read. Her house, like mine, is overflowing with kids of the feathered, furry, and scaled variety and she is doing a wonderful service by featuring adoptable pets on her site. Leigh-Ann certainly has a soft heart for animals.

Go on and check her out and consider adopting a furry buddy from your local animal shelter!
