QAAL’s LIFELONG LEARNING NETWORK
QAAL’s network supports the diverse learning needs of Quebec’s English-language adult learners, including education providers, trainers, volunteers, students and community workers.

“Partnering with QAAL has been a very positive experience for CDRTI. Together we have been able to carry out community-based projects involving access to health care for Deaf persons in the English speaking community.”
