We would also like to thank the Ontario Region LINC Advisory Committee, and all those who contributed to the consultation process, particularly members of CCVT steering committee, Alfredo Barahona from Toronto Refugee Affairs Council, Paulina Macilius from Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants and Susan Beattie founding member of the CCVT's English classes and former member of the Board of Directors.

Special thanks are also due to Josephine Chung, Program consultant Settlement Directorate, Ontario Region, CIC, Sue Glassford, Project Coordinator, Lawrence Hrubes, CCVT LINC Coordinator and trainer, Lorena Bekar, trainer and Rony Rivas, Graphic Designer.
