Maintenance of acquired skills and development activities:
The Agency intends to work together with OHSSN (Outaouais Health and Social Services Network) to establish a learning retention and development program using a twinning approach. This concept encourages the regular practice of English once a week in an informal setting, with participants paired with English-speaking volunteers individually or in small groups. The team of volunteers will be offered a training session and tools. Plans call for continuing this activity until March 31, 2008.
