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!
