I'm a Canadian who spent 11 years living in Hong Kong, and the past seven in southern California. Through most of this time I have enjoyed a subscription to Canadian Living, thanks to my mom.

As a mother of a 12-year-old who has never lived in Canada, I have used your Life section to help my daughter understand what it means to be Canadian. We've enjoyed the Canadian trivia game and many of the books highlighted over the years. I have also ordered the recommended government publications, and my daughter has surfed the Canadian websites you have recommended. I always look forward to my Canadian Living.
