East and West Learning Connections
At East and West Learning Connections (the Organization), we promote life experience and thought exchange between people of different cultural backgrounds at an individual level. While we greatly appreciate our guest speakers kindly taking the time to share their life stories, thoughts, concerns, and/or suggestions with our audience, the guest speakers’ opinions do not necessarily represent those of the Organization’s. We encourage our audience always to exercise critical thinking, and have frank dialogues with guest speakers as well as with one another, and the Organization.
We will have a short month in June as our TDSB permit to use the school facilities for 2018-19 school year will end on June 13. We will come back in mid September. So take the advantage, come to join us in this cultural corner of Scarborough to improve your publicv speech and social skills, learn cultural knowledge, and have dialogues with local people!

Audience are encouraged to share their own stories and raise questions. We hope that through these dialogues immigrants will learn Canadian people, society, and customs in depth so they can integrate into the mainstream with more ease and grace.
