PIE is live at #ICEF19 in Berlin!  Stop by table KP23 to learn more about the Wolf Creek International Learning Program (#wcilp).  Duncan MacLeod and Mark McWhinnie are meeting with agents from around the world in support of the new and very unique study-abroad opportunity afforded by Wolf Creek Public Schools.  Find us at the event to learn why more and more students are choosing to #StudyInAlberta.  

Purcell International Education (PIE) was on the agenda at a recent meeting of Kimberley's city council.  As part of the development process for Purcell Collegiate, PIE had requested an amendment of the City of Kimberley’s Official Community Plan (OCP) for the purpose of creating a parcel of land for the school's campus.  On October 28, council voted to proceed with the first, second and third readings of the amendment and confirmed a public hearing on the OCP amendment for Monday, November 25, 2019 at 7:00 PM at City Hall.

Did you know that international education services, as measured by total spending by international students, is one of the Canadian economy's largest export earners?  International education services generate more value for Canada than lumber, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, or LNG.  And it doesn't stop there!  In addition to creating jobs for Canadians, international students generate additional value by enhancing classroom environments and creating learning opportunities in our schools. It also provides for a strategic and mutually-beneficial pathway to immigration for students who begin their journey to citizenship in Canada through our classrooms, alongside our students, and with our teachers as their mentors and guides.  
International education benefits Canada's economy and society in a way and at a level few Canadians understand or appreciate.  It is at once our most renewable resource, leverageable commodity, and accessible conduit to influence global thinking and impact our planet's future.
