The government of BC said that it would not fund ESL classes at the colleges in BC. VCC will not be able to provide ESL classes from December 17th, 2014. Only LINC classes will continue running. That means that many students who are Canadian citizens will not be able to continue studying ESL at VCC and over 70 ESL teachers will lose their jobs.

There will be a rally on Tuesday, June 3rd at noon on the grassy area on Broadway at the campus entrance.
Please come and support over 70 ESL teachers and 3000 ESL students who will be affected by the decision of the Provincial government not to fund ESL classes in BC colleges.

To: Vesna's morning LINC 5 class

If you have time and want  to support the ESL teachers and students at VCC, come to the rally after the class tomorrow.

To: Vesna's afternoon LINC class

If you come before 12:30, please join me at the rally. I'll be with the other teachers and students on the grassy area near the main entrance on Broadway. I'll leave a note on the computer lab door to remind you. If I am a bit late, please wait for me in front of the lab.
