I believe locals in Dawson Creek and in Canada in general are very friendly and polite, they always greet me smiling. Canada as a country is a beautiful place, with a lot of amazing cities to visit and places to see. I’ve noticed the people and culture change a little depending on the city, the location of the city, the predominant culture living there. But overall Canada is a very nice place for students to be in.
People are very welcoming! They always make you feel part of the society, I was not expecting that from all the people in general, not only locals but also international people
People are very friendly, polite, welcoming. Very multicultural
The only point is Vancouver is expensive. Especially to rent an apartment.
I visited some historical sites which shows the life of indigenous peoples in Canada.
