Many ESL classes remain online. Online learning is fun and flexible! Some in-person options are now available in some locations.
English as a Second Language
The Centres for Employment & Learning of Avon Maitland offer English as a Second Language programs. The programs are conducted in a classroom setting and are specifically designed to offer assistance to adults in the community for whom English is not their first language but who would like to:

There is no charge for eligible learners.
New students start weekly.
