The energy of the fall season inspires many people to sign up for a course to acquire skills for job advancement, take up a new hobby, or simply for the joy of learning. Lifelong learning represents more than just taking a class – it is a lifetime attitude and commitment to developing one’s potential. Our adult ESL program funded by the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration continues to provide quality English language instruction throughout the city. Partnership initiatives with local business allow us to provide valuable workplace skills training to our immigrant community. The LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) includes a very unique program to teach English to deaf, hard of hearing or deafened adults. Enrichment opportunities for youth are provided year round through Continuing and Community Education programming. Several thousand children and youth take part in summer camps, summer school, International Languages programs both elementary and secondary, driver education, and a variety of general interest courses.

Financial Health Check-Up
Wealth management means more than just investing money and saving taxes. It’s also about monitoring your financial health from time to time so that you can be pro-active instead of reactive. Don’t wait until you are about to retire to calculate how much $ you need; don’t let the banks and insurance companies dictate how big a mortgage you can handle or how much insurance is enough. The ‘Financial Health Check-Up’ workshop teaches you how to measure your financial health and determine how much debt, insurance or investment product is right for you and your family at different life stages.

Fall Dates 2012 In 2003, Paul Moylan walked the 800 kilometer, 1200-year-old footpath of the ‘Camino de Santiago’ across northern Spain with his wife Sandra. Having spent 20 years in the high tech industry in sales and marketing, he found the month long pilgrimage journey a blissful break from his multitasking and sometimes frenetic modern world. The ancient walk he credits as peaceful, meditative, spiritual and transformative, something hundreds of thousands from all over the world are now discovering every year. The journey inspired Paul to create workshops and write planning guides for others who might want to walk ‘The Way of St. James’. In 2009, Paul returned to Spain to travel the ‘Camino’ again, this time alone, spending much of his time maintaining a public blog describing his feelings and the experiences of a 21st century pilgrimage and more recently the book “Camino de Santiago – Fingerprints of God”.

Discover how canines communicate with each other through the use of body language. Learn the large variety of signals using body, face, ears, tails, vocalization and expression. If we study the signals dogs use with each other and use them ourselves, we increase our ability to communicate with our dogs. This in turn will result in and maintain a healthy social hierarchy and resolution of conflict within the pack. Dian McTaggart
