The Language Training Centre (LTC) staff would like to give a warm welcome to all of the students who will be joining us for online learning this term. Although online learning can be challenging at times, it is important to remember that you will have the support of your instructors, classmates and student support team at the LTC as you develop your language and computer skills. 

For general information, you can contact eal@rrc.ca or phone 204-945-6151 and leave a message. Clearly state your name and telephone number.
