Homestay - Walter and Bernice Burgess
Walter and Bernice Burgess had seen their children grow up and leave Cape Breton for other regions in Canada, and they were wondering whether to sell their house and property and move away also. After much debate, they decided to stay and embark upon another adventure altogether. They decided to open their lovely home to International Students, and all kinds of students are certainly glad they decided to stay. To date, they have taken in eleven students since January 05, 2010. Ask any of their students how they feel about living with Walter and Bernice, and the answer is always the same, “we love them.”
