What is a Community Adult Learning Council?

Councils are approved by the Minister of Advanced Education and Technology to address part-time, non-credit adult learning needs in local communities.

Councils are voluntary associations comprised of five or more people who individually, or as representatives of institutions or organizations, are collectively responsible for the Community Adult Learning Program within a specific geographic area.

Any interested individual in a community can become a member of a Council.
