 Winter
in Winnipeg may be cold, but we still know how to party! Every
February, Winnipeg hosts Canada 's largest winter festival - The
Festival du Voyageur (http://www.festivalvoyageur.mb.ca/)!
This unique ten-day celebration (February 9-18), themed on the
fur trade era, is held in St. Boniface, Winnipeg 's French Quarter.
It celebrates the "joie de vivre" of the fur traders.
It's a place of sights, ceremony and celebration - a reflection
of Canada 's unique French-Canadian heritage and a showcase of
historic and cultural treasures.

February
14th is Valentine's Day. This is a Western holiday that celebrates
your love for the people around you. We often celebrate Valentine's
Day by giving little gifts to our boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands,
or wives. It's also common for children to pass Valentine's Day
cards to their friends. Do you celebrate Valentine's Day, or have
a similar holiday in your countries? Heartland teachers and staff
want to wish you and your loved ones a very happy Valentine's
Day! |

Indefinite
Nouns & Articles
Common
nouns are nouns that say the name of one or more members
of a large class of things: student; beach; ice cream.
Proper
nouns name a specific person, place, or thing: Masaru;
Grand Beach; Haagen-Daaz.
Common
nouns can be indefinite or definite. We use an
indefinite article before singular indefinite nouns: a/an (a soccer
ball). We don't use an article before plural indefinite nouns,
whether countable or uncountable: Ø mountain bikes; Ø
bottled water. If the noun begins with a vowel sound, we use "an":
an alligator; an owl. However, we use "a" with a noun
beginning with the sound "y" as in "yellow":
a unit; a utensil; a universe.

a / an / Ø
