Squamish Newcomer Services Conversation Circle

with Cap U's Department of Community Development & Outreach

Practice English in this friendly conversation circle with Capilano University's Department of Community Development & Outreach.

Join our friendly and supportive conversation circles! Weekly sessions offer newcomers the opportunity to practice and improve their English in an informal, relaxed setting. These sessions will help you connect with others while building confidence in speaking and understanding English.

Topics vary each week, from everyday conversations to community related themes, giving participants a chance to practice practical language skills in an inclusive environment. Whether you're new to Canada or looking to improve your English, these circles are open to all levels of speakers.

Come and practice speaking in a welcoming environment where everyone can learn from each other!

Conversation Circle takes place twice a week:

  • Mondays from 1:30 - 3:00 pm at the Squamish Public Library
