キャンビー市との姉妹都市交流04

Every April, we recruit the outgoing delegation, and they spend about ten days in Canby over their summer vacation.

As part of the recruiting process, applicants submit a composition about international exchange and complete an application. In the event that there are a large number of applicants, the International Exchange Association holds a meeting to complete the selection process.

In preparation for their trip, the delegates study English and Western culture with the CIR and receive guidance from City Hall.

Since 1990, a yearly delegation of junior high school students from Kurisawa has traveled to Canby for a short homestay, providing everyone involved with valuable experience in international exchange.

On March 27, 2006, the town of Kurisawa merged with the nearby city of Iwamizawa; therefore, the sister-city relationship will henceforth continue under the aegis of the city of Iwamizawa.

From July 27 till August 6, 2012, a six-member delegation of junior high school students visited Canby.
