Great Sudbury Public Library and Rainbow Routes team up for a program called English Conversations on Trails, where those new to English can chat in the language in a relaxed setting
The changing demographics of Greater Sudbury have brought many new Canadians to the Nickel City and when they come they bring their languages with them.
Sudbury has a wealth of local trails to choose from for such an endeavour. Visit Rainbow Routes website to find a whole host of trails in the city limits to hike. Since August, 2023, the program has hosted 10 hikes with between five and 35 participants for each event. Not everyone who takes part is new to Canada though, Mantas said. Some people have been in Canada for decades, but still feel they want to brush up on their English.
“We always try to share a free copy of the map, made possible thanks to the funding received from the City of Greater Sudbury, and community donations to our not-for-profit,” Mantas said. “That is also why all these programs on the trails are always free.” The program received some additional funding through the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Resilient Communities Fund. This provided the means to hire a “reliance co-ordinator”, Mantas said. That position, which was held by Angela Miller-Bruce, was a placement with RRA that ended in November. Bruce, however, continues to volunteer and lead hikes on her personal time.
