London Cross Cultural Learner Centre (CCLC)

The CCLC has educational programs to help Londoners understand other cultures and learn about global issues. Since 1968 when the first collection of educational materials was put together by students at the University of Western Ontario we have built a library including books, magazines, and videos that teach Canadians about issues overseas and about ethnic communities in Canada. The Cross Cultural Learner Centre is a settlement service agency. Each year, CCLC helps over 2,000 Newcomers to Canada. We offer settlement counselling, English language testing, translation of documents, employment counselling, social support, advocacy and assistance in accessing local medical, educational and social services. Our full-time staff includes over 25 people from a variety of countries and cultures who speak many languages including Arabic, Chinese, French, Persian, Polish, Spanish and Vietnamese.
