University of Alberta – International

International Students at University of Alberta

The International Friendship Group invites students from all over the world into our community. We hope this will be your home away from home! We welcome Canadian students who want to welcome and serve International students. We have monthly suppers in Canadian homes, trips, Bible discussions, etc. While we are a Christian group, we welcome International students from all beliefs and backgrounds!

Hang Out

Let us know if you want to hang out in person. James is happy to have lunch or tea with you. Small groups of IFG friends sometimes get together at a park or for a campfire on weeks when we don’t have official events. Contact James at [email protected]

Do you want to go biking? Do you want to work out?

Boon is one of our IFG volunteers who likes biking and working out. He has two extra bikes. If you and a friend want to go biking with Boon, contact him at [email protected]. Boon works out at the Kinsman Sports Centre from 11 AM to 1 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. He could pick you up at the university to work out together. You would only need to pay the fee to work out at the centre.
