“Thank you PIRS [for letting] us learn English during this isolated COVID situation. I not only learned more about English Conversation but also increase[d] my knowledge about Canadian culture, and lifestyle. It enlightened me a lot and I am glad that I can learn together with people from different cultural backgrounds. I think this is a very good way to let all newcomers integrate into Canadian society. Thank you PIRS for your efforts in helping us and your contribution to society and our community! Thanks.”
