ESL Rural Routes

ESL Rural Routes is a provincial initiative that provides free mentorship and professional development services to adult ESL providers and ESL programs in rural and urban centres throughout Alberta.

The initiative supports and builds capacity of ESL providers so they can offer culturally integrated English language programs and services to enhance economic and social integration in rural communities for adult newcomers.

Its clientele includes community adult learning progams (CALP), CALP partners, and non-CALPs such as church and library programs who provide front-line service that support newcomers to establish themselves in their communities.

Rural Routes receives provincial and federal funding from Advanced Education and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
