Yesterday, I met Coralie Gabouriau, an exchange student from France working with Dr. Don Flaten in the Department of Soil Science. She arrived to Manitoba a week ago. She is looking for accommodations for the August 1 to mid-December period, ideally in a setting where she can practice speaking English. Please contact her if you know of something. You can contact Coralie at: coralie.gaboriau(a)wanadoo.fr Thanks, Caroline Halde
