Language

The Multicultural Centre uses the LINC Program (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) as the class curriculum. It provides basic literacy to intermediate instruction for adult immigrants and includes information that teaches students about the Canadian way of life and helps them integrate into Canadian society. These classes are free of charge for Canadian Citizens, refugees, permanent residents, Yukon Nominees, and individuals with work permits.

The goal is to facilitate the social, cultural and economic integration of immigrants and refugees to Canada through development of English language skills. In addition, information contained in the curriculum will allow immigrants to become oriented to the local area and the Canadian way of life and guide them towards an identified career path. Such things as relevant field trips, the use of volunteers, or other activities will also enhance this language training.
