TDSB and Adoptive Families Tour Information

As part of a Memorandum of Agreement the TDSB has signed with Qiaoban (Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council), Continuing Education is offering a homeland tour to China.


This year’s heritage summer camp is a 12 day tour of China which includes trips to Beijing, Jinghong and Kunming. The year 2011 marks a special year since it is the 20th year that China has opened its doors to foreign adoption. To honour this special year, Qiaoban has organized a national camp in Beijing where Canadian adoptive families will have the opportunity to meet with adoptive families from other parts of the world to participate in special activities together.

Due to the generous support of Qiaoban, we are able to provide a trip that is less costly than other homeland tours. Additional information, including an itinerary and information/application package, is available at http://www.chinaheritagecamp.ca/. Please share this with other adoptive families who may be interested in this trip. The price is competitive with other trips; also please note participant eligibility. Please contact Jolly Yang, Program Officer, at mailto:jolly.yang@tdsb.on.ca or 416-209-7459 with your questions.
