Canada is a wonderful country to live in. People from all over the world are hearing about this and are becoming interested in what Canada has to offer.
One group of people in particular are very interested! We have been told that Harry Potter and his wizard friends have decided that they would like to move to Canada but they are uncertain where they should live. Should they live by the Rocky Mountains, the Prairies, near the Pacific or Atlantic oceans or near the Great Lakes? They are so confused.
Harry needs some help to decide. He has requested that some Canadian students should be recruited as Travel Advisement Wizards to help him make his decision. After looking over all the students in Canada, Harry has decided that the students at Broxton Park School would be the perfect helpers.
