Our vision is a strong, inclusive, multicultural community.
Our mission is to provide individualized and accessible English as a Second Language (ESL) training to newcomers to Ottawa who cannot attend regular ESL classes, thereby helping them gain the confidence and community ties that will help them integrate into Canadian society. ELTOC achieves its mission by matching newcomers to ELTOC-trained volunteers in the community.

Our Accessible Customer Service Policy outlines the ways in which we ensure that our office and services are accessible to persons with disabilities. Our policy is compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians Act (AODA) which was implemented by the Ontario Ministry of Social and Community Services on January 1, 2012.
