I'm a newcomer to Canada and GEC Pearson (from Cambie) was my first home. It meant so much to me because this was my very first time living on my own and I had such and amazing time. I almost cried when I had to leave. For Halloween they delivered us these tiny little Trick or Treat candy bags- (my first Halloween) and it was all just so cute. I will miss GEC so so very much.
