LAC Inclusion Statement

TLG’s Learners’ Advisory Committee welcomes learners no matter what your…
• Life experiences
• Abilities
• Age
• Culture
• Gender
• Race
• Religion
• Sexuality
• Level of education
• Employment status
• Level of English language and literacy skills

Whether you were born in Canada or came to Canada later in life, we welcome you! We value and respect your opinions and life experiences. We want to hear what you have to say. TLG is a safe shared-learning space. You learn from us. We learn from you!

What Is the Learners’ Advisory Committee (LAC)?
Do you want to make a difference?

With your help, we can improve learning at TLG. Together, we will look at the strengths and weaknesses of TLG programs and find ways to make them better. We want to create the best experience possible for our learners. The Learners’ Advisory Committee (LAC) is a place for TLG learners and past learners to make their voices heard.
Meetings will be held four times per year (every three months) by Zoom. Attend as many—or as few—as you wish, depending on when you are able to come. At the meetings, you will be a voice for the community and bring issues that affect you and other learners to the table. You will help us find solutions to those issues. Everyone will get a chance to contribute.
