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!

The ghost of Samuel de Champlain has lost his memory and needs your help!

Poor Sam needs to match the drawings from his travel diary to Canada's historic sites. To be succesful, you must first click on the points of the map to read a bit of history and then drag the corresponding drawing to that site to make a match.

Beware! A wrong move will summon the sea creatures of the deep (Ahoy Ogopogo!) and too many wrong moves will destroy your map and force you to start over.

The game can be found here, The Budding Explorer.
