Our Programs

Our goal is to help people develop their literacy skills in a safe and supportive environment, at their own pace. That’s why we offer English Conversation Circles for newcomers, an English Conversation Group for women, and One-to-One Tutoring for those who have struggled with the education system and want to strengthen their reading and writing.

English Conversation Circles

English Conversation Circles are a friendly, safe place to practice speaking English with the support of a native speaker. You’ll meet new friends, connect with other immigrants, and get tips for life in Canada. The circles are free, drop-in, and open to everyone—no immigration status required.
