About this service
We provide different levels and formats of English language instruction (ESL) for immigrant and refugee women. Our teachers bring valued content to address the specific needs of our women participants and help connect them with their community. Our classes are designed to take women from basic literacy all the way to the intermediate ESL levels needed to make the all-important connections to other community agencies and services.
Along with learning English, we help women build support systems and confidence as they find employment, raise their children and make a home in Canada. We help our students understand health and government systems, sharing and other relevant topics to improve their wellbeing and to support their active participation in society. To make our programs more inclusive, all our daytime classes include free childcare.
