Costs

Q:
Why is homestay in Edmonton cheaper than other cities?
A: Edmonton is the Capital City of one of the richest provinces in Canada!
|
Most things in Edmonton are less expensive. Our Province, Alberta, has a lot of resources, including oil and gas. Because we are a rich Province, we have no provincial sales tax. No taxes means everything is cheaper.
The homestay families pay less for utilities, so... homestay is cheaper! |

A: Not! (slang; meaning: 'no, it is not)

ELTC is not expensive. School prices are easily confusing.
