Dans le nord-est de l'Angleterre, une r\u00e9gion r\u00e9put\u00e9e pour sa riche histoire d'innovation, son talent musical et sa passion pour le football, Chris Howell a entam\u00e9 un voyage qui le m\u00e8nerait \u00e0 l'autre bout du monde, jusqu'au Canada. Fort d'une exp\u00e9rience dans le tourisme et d'un esprit d'aventure, Chris illustre parfaitement comment les nouveaux arrivants peuvent s'installer et r\u00e9aliser leurs r\u00eaves au Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Howell grew up in Newcastle, a city he proudly describes as the home of musical legends like Sting of The Police, Dire Straits, Brian Johnson of AC\/DC, and Sam Fender. It’s also a place of remarkable innovation, having produced George Stephenson, the inventor of railways. And, of course, there’s the Newcastle United Football Club!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais en 2011, alors qu'il vivait en Australie, Chris en a eu assez de voir son \u00e9quipe de football pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9e perdre chaque semaine \u00e0 4 heures du matin. Ses amis \u00e9tant d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e0 Vancouver, il a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 que le Canada \u00e9tait sa prochaine \u00e9tape. Ce qui avait commenc\u00e9 comme une aventure temporaire s'est transform\u00e9 en un foyer permanent\u00a0!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Croissance personnelle : trouver un foyer dans un pays \u00e9tranger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When asked about his initial feelings upon moving to Canada, Chris’s response is cinematic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I loved it, I felt like I was in a movie. Having grown up watching North American entertainment, it felt like one big movie.”<\/strong>
– Chris<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au-del\u00e0 de son lien avec le divertissement, Chris se sentait en paix au Canada, qu'il d\u00e9crivait comme un pays s\u00fbr et accueillant. Ce sentiment de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 lui a permis de b\u00e2tir une vie et, plus tard, une entreprise en accord avec ses valeurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Son premier poste au Canada a mis \u00e0 profit son exp\u00e9rience touristique en tant qu'accompagnateur touristique aux chutes du Niagara, \u00e0 Qu\u00e9bec et \u00e0 New York. Ce poste a rapidement \u00e9volu\u00e9 vers un r\u00f4le de gestion, lui permettant de s'installer dans son nouveau pays. Aujourd'hui, 11 ans apr\u00e8s son arriv\u00e9e, Chris est mari\u00e9 et p\u00e8re d'un enfant. Il a b\u00e2ti une vie qui allie harmonieusement sa passion pour l'exploration en plein air \u00e0 son engagement \u00e0 aider les nouveaux arrivants \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir le Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His advice to newcomers reveals both humour and insight: “You need to buy a jug for the bags of milk. I thought bags of milk were single serve for the longest time.” This light-hearted observation speaks to the small cultural adjustments that are part of every newcomer’s journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris a d\u00e9couvert Canoo plus tard gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 sa femme, elle aussi venue de l'\u00e9tranger et install\u00e9e au Canada. Son attachement au programme Canoo a \u00e9t\u00e9 imm\u00e9diat et profond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Canoo is the best thing newcomers can use to help them feel more Canadian.”
– Chris<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canoo\u00a0: ouvrir les portes aux nouveaux arrivants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chris appr\u00e9cie la fa\u00e7on dont le programme \u00e9limine les obstacles financiers qui pourraient autrement emp\u00eacher les nouveaux arrivants de d\u00e9couvrir la culture canadienne. La possibilit\u00e9 de visiter gratuitement des mus\u00e9es, des galeries et d'acc\u00e9der \u00e0 des activit\u00e9s cr\u00e9e des exp\u00e9riences accessibles qui aident les nouveaux arrivants \u00e0 tomber amoureux du Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Toronto has this thing once a year called Open Doors where people get excited because things are open to the public,” Chris explains. “With Canoo, every day is open doors.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Son enthousiasme pour le programme est contagieux et ses conseils aux membres potentiels sont tr\u00e8s simples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Why would you not join Canoo? This doesn’t have to be Shakespeare – to be, or not to be. You have nothing to lose by joining and so much to gain.”
– Chris<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaque exp\u00e9rience \u00e0 Canoo a \u00e9t\u00e9 m\u00e9morable pour Chris, des visites au zoo de Toronto aux explorations du Centre de la nature du Cap-Jourimain au Nouveau-Brunswick. Canoo lui offre des exp\u00e9riences qu'il n'aurait peut-\u00eatre pas v\u00e9cues autrement, enrichissant son voyage au Canada de mani\u00e8res inattendues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Des visites m\u00e9morables vers le nord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chris’s passion for exploration eventually led him to found Northbound Tours, a company created by newcomers, for newcomers, tourists, and Canadians alike. The venture isn’t just a business for him \u2014 it’s an extension of who he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company evolved from Chris’s recognition that as we age, our social connections can diminish. In a city like Toronto, meeting new people is challenging. Northbound Tours creates opportunities for friends to connect with nature, adventure, and each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parmi ses exp\u00e9riences les plus m\u00e9morables, on compte l'observation d'aurores bor\u00e9ales \u00e0 Torrance Barrens. Ce qui n'\u00e9tait au d\u00e9part qu'une simple excursion d'observation des \u00e9toiles s'est transform\u00e9 en un \u00e9v\u00e9nement spectaculaire lorsque des alertes ont signal\u00e9 une forte activit\u00e9 g\u00e9omagn\u00e9tique.
