How long can I stay

Posted date : Dec 16, 2021.

Representation for California

Posted date : May 5, 2020.

When I read the CSA magazine, I see articles pertaining to FLORIDA almost exclusively. A little bit is mentioned about Arizona, but hardly ever is California mentioned. I would like to see more representation for the Western Canada snowbirds who flock to California.
