We have conversation circles that are run by volunteers. We're also beginning the HIPPY program, which is looking at having trained staff go into the home and work with women and their children. It's working with children in terms of literacy, but also helping women. There are a variety of different options in doing that. We also promote programs such as sewing classes and gathering places where women can come with a focus, and even gardening projects. All of these things bring people out into the community, help them link with Canadians who were born here, and support their language development as well. There's a series of things that we can do.
