Hello everyone,

Hello Cheryl and everyone,

I鈥檓 not in Canada yet, but I鈥檓 really excited to go and integrate into the local culture! From what I鈥檝e read, one of the cultural differences I鈥檓 looking forward to experiencing is the informal nature of afterwork gatherings. In some cultures, socializing with coworkers outside of work is rare or strictly professional, but in Canada, it鈥檚 seen as a valuable part of team integration. There seems to be a genuine interest in getting to know each other beyond job roles, which I find very welcoming.

I鈥檓 excited to join these kinds of events once I arrive and learn more about the local customs!
