Hey, Port aux Basques!

Our partner SpacesShared has news about an exciting opportunity for students and Canadians who have spare bedrooms right here in Port aux Basques.

They help students who need a place to stay in our community by pairing them with residents who have a spare bedroom available. The students get safe and affordable housing, and the host gets a little extra income, some help around the house, and the company of having someone stay with them.
