Hi Jo...how come you have to be 18 to attend, Is Canada Revenue Serving Wine?

Jo - Working with an organization that helps refugees settle into life in Canada I certainly appreciate the benefits of programs like this.
Ty,
The more services to help them get acquainted and settled, the better. Thanks for stopping by!

Kathy,
It must be very confusing for them when they first move here....I can't imagine re-locating to another country where I didn't really know the language.

Jo,
I wasn't thinking of attending myself, until I heard the rumour about the CRA serving wine.

Brian,
As long as you won't be dancing on any tables or wearing lampshades, I'll let on that I know you. ((-;
