Centre in Hamilton will hold an open house celebration for the
general public Sunday, March 25 from 12 noon to 5 p.m.
Located at 91 East Avenue South, Hamilton, the centre
offers English language classes to new Canadians and for many
is the first contact with this country. The large majority of the
130 day students and 90 evening students have lived in Canada
for only a few months.
Centre supervisor Monica Robinson said the main feature
of the open house celebration will be a multi-ethnic buffet. She
said visitors will be able to tour the classrooms, meet students
and watch English language classes in progress.
The centre offers classes on six levels and ideally a student will spend time on each of them to acquire a good working
knowledge of the language. Students come from almost every
country in the world and many have no English when they first
arrive.

usually see otherwise.
Home-sewing is the keynote to this annual event and many
of the mothers and teenage daughters are busily sewing- away.
