Everyone deserves the chance to reach their full potential.

The Adult Learning Network connects organizations and individuals across Peel, Halton, and Dufferin to help adults access the skills upgrading services they need to succeed in work, training, and life.

Building Literacy Skills

Across Our Regions

The Adult Learning Network is one of 16 learning networks across Ontario that provide local service planning and coordination for Ontario's Literacy and Basic Skills program.

The Ontario Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) program helps adults gain the foundational skills they need to succeed in everyday life and pursue personal and professional goals. This includes reading, writing, math, computer skills, communication, and problem-solving.
