Keep the LINC Program at Vancouver Community College

This program is essential for those who try to integrate into Canadian society. There is nowhere to find that adults can learn this kind of program.

This is an important program not just to help newcomers learn the language, but also to introduce them to the local culture.

Please keep the program going. It's helping a lot of people to adapt to a new life in Canada.

I don’t want to close linc program of VCC. People needed this program

LINC provides much more than just English classes; a major component of LINC is settlement orientation for newcomers to Canada. Students in LINC classes learn English that helps them navigate everyday life in Canada and fully participate in activities such as communicating with their child’s school and volunteering. B.C. has suffered the biggest cuts of all provinces in Canada. In justifying these cuts, the government states that B.C. has the highest cost per student. As a result, newcomers in B.C., who are already struggling with the high cost of living, are now being punished by the government for living in the most expensive province in Canada.

Linc program is very important for newcomer . I t is too pity to close LINC program of VCC.

I taught in the LINC program for a number of years. A truly valuable resource for immigrants coming to Canada. People from other countries always applauded the foresight of the Cdn government for providing such a valuable resource! How do we expect immigrants to integrate into our country if they can’t speak the language or speak it well enough to use their skills properly?

Restore ongoing funding to the LINC program at Vancouver Community College. This a vital program for new comers and provides essential skills to ensure their success in the future.

The program is the opportunity for many new migrants to access the opportunity to have a dignified and more connected life, cutting off this program is somehow silencing and leaving more defenceless those who cannot have access to learning English in any other way.

We cannot lose this

I really want the LINC program at Vancouver Community College don't close.

Linc program was helpful for me when I move to BC. I am grateful

We need classes! We need education!

Please extend LINC program at VCC!

Keep the Linc save

It is a very difficult situation for many students and teachers! This means that 800 students will lose their classes and may not have anywhere to go!!!((((

Invest in what matters: keep LINC alive!

No to funding cut on the LINK program.

When newcomers do not get the necessary language training for their lives in Canada; then everyone loses. Canada needs the work skills and experience that newcomers bring.

These programs are meant to assist new residents to integrate and to contribute in new surroundings.
