I have been with CCPRN from the start... now I just need to renew my membership. I didnt really participate in activities there, they are so far, 40 minutes drive I was stuck a few times during the beginning of my daycare and didnt feel they helped me much. I much prefer this website and its forums.

Here in Limoges, there is quite a lot a daycares now. Close, we are 3 providers that get along great, but we are also neighbours so most dont want to mix personnal life with neighbour life (I had that experience at my other house) Also, I have older girls of my own but they have smaller children, I know they are busy enough with their own lifes.

I guess if there would be a supper get together at like ... East Side Marios or St-hubert for example in Orleans or St-Laurent-Trainyards-Gloucester area... I wouldnt mind once in a while

I guess we are still kindda all strangers so no one would do a at home get together, perhaps after meeting a few times ! I'm 25 minutes away from St-Laurent Center.

Well from a girl who is from Montreal, I tell ya it is hard to just ''make friends'' especially Laval... it has become so busy there. I used to live in Repentigny and really liked it there, no probs with getting to know people.

We moved cause we couldnt stand Montreal anymore actually

Don't get me wrong, my aunt lived in Laval in a nice development and it was just as nice. You just have to make the first steps... like here actually. If you dont talk to anyone, no one will talk to you grrr. Actually they are some ppl that even if I had an entire conversation with once, the next time its like they dont know me About that !!!

So true! Noone says hello just to say hello. My mom is in Ajax, Ontario and people are so friendly. Always chatting in lines and stuff. If I talk about it to people here, they're like "why? I don't know them. Why would I say hi?!" Funny how different areas are so different. \

My kids are in school now...English school and they have a lot of school spirit and parents seem really friendly, so I'm trying to get as involved as I can to get to know people that way, too.

Watch the ccprn newsletter for workshops in Orleans. They are trying to do more. I had a workshop at my house last night on a valentine's theme here in Orleans. One of the ladies last night asked me about some more get togethers and I am quite happy to do it. Any chance you do plastic canvas. lol? She wants a night of learning how to make teaching resources from it. She saw my ice cream cones and sorting squares.
