Who is Robert Roy-Laliberte, Director?

Robert began working with international students in 1997, when he led a group of 50 university students on a 5-week tour to the Middle East.  He returned to Canada to take up the position of President of the International Business Association at Concordia University.  While at Concordia, he organized numerous successful events for the many thousands of both local and foreign university students studying in Montréal.  Events included several weekend getaways to Ottawa, Mont Ste-Anne (a popular ski resort), Mont Tremblant, and the popular ‘CIBA International Weekend’ up north, which included hikes, canoe races and campfires.  He organized four amazing parties at very cool and trendy nightclubs downtown Montréal. He hosted educational events highlighting the importance of cross-cultural communication and understanding, and many interesting evenings where students from around the world could just stop in, converse with other international and local students and where they could simply practice their language skills, perhaps over a cold drink or a hot latte.  Robert won 5 awards of excellence for his efforts at Concordia University.   

Following Robert’s schooling at Concordia and McGill University, he obtained a degree in International Business; but his work with the international student community did not end there.  He worked in the Homestay business for almost 6 years.  His family hosted students and he enjoyed the position of Senior Counselor and Activity Coordinator with another Homestay Agency, ensuring that each and every student’s stay was educational, amusing, and safe.

To pursue his passions in traveling, Robert traveled throughout Europe for six months.  His many stops included Greece, Italy, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Bulgaria, and France.  He also traveled to Latin America where he had the chance to hike glaciers, see the tip of the world, and stay in the Jungle!  He enjoys many solid friendships from around the world, from Asia through Europe, to Africa and the Middle East, throughout Canada, the United States, all the way through South America.  He returned to Montréal, joined MONTRÉAL NUMBER 1 HOMESTAY, and continues to enjoy working regularly in the Film and Television industry.
