Boise State Primed for Canada Week Celebration

---

Boise State University is prepared to usher in its second annual Canada Week with a variety of exhibitions, lectures and activities. A full slate of events April 4-10 celebrates the special nature of the Idaho-Canada relationship. All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. The United States and Canada share the world�s longest undefended border (5,500 miles). The large exchange of goods and services between the two nations makes Canada the top trading partner to the U.S., and Idaho�s second largest trading partner. Canada Week is an opportunity to foster a greater appreciation for this relationship between Idaho and the western Canadian provinces, as well as Canada�s role in the world community. Highlights of the week follow. For a complete list of events visit http://anthro.boisestate.edu/canadian.
