About

Conversation Café is a community where people from different cultures and languages gather (both in-person and online) and receive support to help improve their English. 

With the help of trained and certified volunteers, we provide small group settings engaging in English conversation. 

Our goal is to support our individuals and families new to Canada and see them thrive in their communities as their English improves by participating in the following programs.

 

Conversation Cafe has its own website, for more detailed information click the button below:

 

Our Programs

In-person (Wednesdays 6:45-8pm)

Our in-person Conversation Cafe classes have ended for the semester and will resume again in September.  But we do have online opportunities for you that will be continuing over the summer. If you are intermediate or advanced level English we offer an online class that we would love to see you join. To register, see below.

Online (Mondays 7-8pm)

Because Conversation Cafe is now available through online video and interactive conversational instruction, we have been able to expand our goal to include anyone in the world who would like the opportunity to improve their English speaking skills.

Adult Program

Our adult program helps individuals improve their English while having conversations with small groups of people. Individuals are paired with trained and certified volunteers and others at their same language level. 

Join us for the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends while learning English.

Children’s Program

We offer an in house children’s program for nursery, preschool, and school aged children. Each week, children will be provided with a snack upon their arrival and then move into classrooms, based on age.  Inside these classrooms, their English skills will improve through conversations, teaching activities, and play.
