JILL SHEWFELT | SUCCESS STORY

For many changing careers means finding new employment But for Jill Shewfelt enrolment in the Continuing Studies Advanced Project Management program enabled her to change roles within her company the Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies Society In the spring of 2013 Jill moved from being a

Coordinator to a Project Manager Jill managed two projects for the Whistler Sliding Centre venue including the implementation of safety audit recommendations and the summer bobsleigh program

With a background in payroll and bookkeeping Jill was looking to take on more responsibility with her employer Without the formal education she was afraid that she wouldnrsquot be considered for future opportunities ldquoI really wanted to become more valuable to the organization that I worked for and managing projects was a way in which I could move into other facets of the businessrdquo Jill knew that once she had the tools processes and education she would prove capable of achieving project objectives and organizational goals given the right opportunity

Taking on school and full-time work is challenging but resuming her education was an empowering decision for Jill ldquoI felt that it was an investment in myself and I knew each time I entered the classroom my employer and I would benefitrdquo she says Langara presents options to take the program in-class or online and on a course-by-course basis adding flexibility for those who need it Project management continues to inspire her work at the Whistler-based organization ldquoI enjoy progression implementation and improvement You really get to see the outcome of your deliverables ndash there is a start and there is an end You get to see where you started from what you did to get there evaluate the challenges along the way and finally celebrate your achievementsrdquo 3

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

Katie helped lead the Langara Falcons to a silver medal at the 2014 PACWEST Championships and was named the tournamentrsquos Top Defender

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

For many changing careers means finding new employment But for Jill Shewfelt enrolment in the Continuing Studies Advanced Project Management program enabled her to change roles within her company the Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies Society In the spring of 2013 Jill moved from being a

Coordinator to a Project Manager Jill managed two projects for the Whistler Sliding Centre venue including the implementation of safety audit recommendations and the summer bobsleigh program

With a background in payroll and bookkeeping Jill was looking to take on more responsibility with her employer Without the formal education she was afraid that she wouldnrsquot be considered for future opportunities ldquoI really wanted to become more valuable to the organization that I worked for and managing projects was a way in which I could move into other facets of the businessrdquo Jill knew that once she had the tools processes and education she would prove capable of achieving project objectives and organizational goals given the right opportunity

Taking on school and full-time work is challenging but resuming her education was an empowering decision for Jill ldquoI felt that it was an investment in myself and I knew each time I entered the classroom my employer and I would benefitrdquo she says Langara presents options to take the program in-class or online and on a course-by-course basis adding flexibility for those who need it Project management continues to inspire her work at the Whistler-based organization ldquoI enjoy progression implementation and improvement You really get to see the outcome of your deliverables ndash there is a start and there is an end You get to see where you started from what you did to get there evaluate the challenges along the way and finally celebrate your achievementsrdquo 3

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

Katie helped lead the Langara Falcons to a silver medal at the 2014 PACWEST Championships and was named the tournamentrsquos Top Defender

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

JILL SHEWFELT | SUCCESS STORY

For many changing careers means finding new employment But for Jill Shewfelt enrolment in the Continuing Studies Advanced Project Management program enabled her to change roles within her company the Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies Society In the spring of 2013 Jill moved from being a

Coordinator to a Project Manager Jill managed two projects for the Whistler Sliding Centre venue including the implementation of safety audit recommendations and the summer bobsleigh program

With a background in payroll and bookkeeping Jill was looking to take on more responsibility with her employer Without the formal education she was afraid that she wouldnrsquot be considered for future opportunities ldquoI really wanted to become more valuable to the organization that I worked for and managing projects was a way in which I could move into other facets of the businessrdquo Jill knew that once she had the tools processes and education she would prove capable of achieving project objectives and organizational goals given the right opportunity

Taking on school and full-time work is challenging but resuming her education was an empowering decision for Jill ldquoI felt that it was an investment in myself and I knew each time I entered the classroom my employer and I would benefitrdquo she says Langara presents options to take the program in-class or online and on a course-by-course basis adding flexibility for those who need it Project management continues to inspire her work at the Whistler-based organization ldquoI enjoy progression implementation and improvement You really get to see the outcome of your deliverables ndash there is a start and there is an end You get to see where you started from what you did to get there evaluate the challenges along the way and finally celebrate your achievementsrdquo 3

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

Fueled by her inspiration in 2014 Queenie turned to Langara Continuing Studies to enhance her skillset enrolling in the Organic Landscape Management program There she found like-minded individuals who shared her appreciation for ecological and functional garden spaces Queenie learned how ecological garden design saves clients money and time through long-term planning ldquoI really appreciate the content of the courses that are based on new research from plant biology to soil life contributing to healthy plants and gardens Now I have the confidence to create a small business and get paid for what Irsquom passionate about - to further peoplersquos enjoyment of plants in the urban environment while providing ecological benefits to our city landscaperdquo 33

JILL SHEWFELT | SUCCESS STORY

For many changing careers means finding new employment But for Jill Shewfelt enrolment in the Continuing Studies Advanced Project Management program enabled her to change roles within her company the Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies Society In the spring of 2013 Jill moved from being a

Coordinator to a Project Manager Jill managed two projects for the Whistler Sliding Centre venue including the implementation of safety audit recommendations and the summer bobsleigh program

With a background in payroll and bookkeeping Jill was looking to take on more responsibility with her employer Without the formal education she was afraid that she wouldnrsquot be considered for future opportunities ldquoI really wanted to become more valuable to the organization that I worked for and managing projects was a way in which I could move into other facets of the businessrdquo Jill knew that once she had the tools processes and education she would prove capable of achieving project objectives and organizational goals given the right opportunity

Taking on school and full-time work is challenging but resuming her education was an empowering decision for Jill ldquoI felt that it was an investment in myself and I knew each time I entered the classroom my employer and I would benefitrdquo she says Langara presents options to take the program in-class or online and on a course-by-course basis adding flexibility for those who need it Project management continues to inspire her work at the Whistler-based organization ldquoI enjoy progression implementation and improvement You really get to see the outcome of your deliverables ndash there is a start and there is an end You get to see where you started from what you did to get there evaluate the challenges along the way and finally celebrate your achievementsrdquo 3

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

Katie helped lead the Langara Falcons to a silver medal at the 2014 PACWEST Championships and was named the tournamentrsquos Top Defender

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

JILL SHEWFELT | SUCCESS STORY

For many changing careers means finding new employment But for Jill Shewfelt enrolment in the Continuing Studies Advanced Project Management program enabled her to change roles within her company the Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies Society In the spring of 2013 Jill moved from being a

Coordinator to a Project Manager Jill managed two projects for the Whistler Sliding Centre venue including the implementation of safety audit recommendations and the summer bobsleigh program

With a background in payroll and bookkeeping Jill was looking to take on more responsibility with her employer Without the formal education she was afraid that she wouldnrsquot be considered for future opportunities ldquoI really wanted to become more valuable to the organization that I worked for and managing projects was a way in which I could move into other facets of the businessrdquo Jill knew that once she had the tools processes and education she would prove capable of achieving project objectives and organizational goals given the right opportunity

Taking on school and full-time work is challenging but resuming her education was an empowering decision for Jill ldquoI felt that it was an investment in myself and I knew each time I entered the classroom my employer and I would benefitrdquo she says Langara presents options to take the program in-class or online and on a course-by-course basis adding flexibility for those who need it Project management continues to inspire her work at the Whistler-based organization ldquoI enjoy progression implementation and improvement You really get to see the outcome of your deliverables ndash there is a start and there is an end You get to see where you started from what you did to get there evaluate the challenges along the way and finally celebrate your achievementsrdquo 3

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

Katie helped lead the Langara Falcons to a silver medal at the 2014 PACWEST Championships and was named the tournamentrsquos Top Defender

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

Katie helped lead the Langara Falcons to a silver medal at the 2014 PACWEST Championships and was named the tournamentrsquos Top Defender

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

Katie helped lead the Langara Falcons to a silver medal at the 2014 PACWEST Championships and was named the tournamentrsquos Top Defender

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

Katie helped lead the Langara Falcons to a silver medal at the 2014 PACWEST Championships and was named the tournamentrsquos Top Defender

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

KATIE INKSTER | SUCCESS STORY

Massage therapy has always been something Irsquove been interested in On all my sports teams my teammates have come to me for a massage but it wasnrsquot until I came to Langara that I considered it as a career As I looked further into the program I knew it was a great fit Unfortunately evening classes coincided with soccer practice and something that seemed so perfect suddenly turned into a huge dilemma I was heartbroken But when my coach told me he would still love to have me on the team ndash despite me missing every practice ndash I was elated

My classmates come from such diverse backgrounds one studied economics and worked in a bank but wants to change careers another used to be a chef Theyrsquore all especially supportive in helping me catch up and share any coursework Irsquove missed We take advantage of breaks and lunch to study together and tutor each other Likewise my Falcons teammates push me to focus on studying plus I get to practice my massage techniques on them Soccer and RMT just go hand-in-hand

One thing I learned from athletics that has carried over into my academics is perseverance Itrsquos challenging being in such an intense program And the last two weeks of finals are like the last ten minutes of a game in overtime studying is most important and procrastination isnrsquot an option Luckily I learned good time management skills in high school and Irsquom used to having every hour slotted into something Itrsquos an intimidating amount of knowledge but I thrive on being in a program and knowing exactly what Irsquom working towards

Katie helped lead the Langara Falcons to a silver medal at the 2014 PACWEST Championships and was named the tournamentrsquos Top Defender

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

secondary studies as a mature student at Langara College - taking one course at a time In 2014 after transferring to UBC (and several years since her first class) Shelly earned her degree in psychology ldquoI am proud of merdquo said Shelly ldquoIt took thirteen years and I wanted to give up so many times but I did it and Irsquom proud of this accomplishmentrdquo

Incredibly Shelly was also battling inflammatory arthritis anxiety and depression invisible disabilities that continue to affect her physically cognitively and emotionally Nonetheless her experience at Langara was incredible ldquoThey believed in me when I didnrsquotrdquo she shared as she recalled her inspirational professors and how they encouraged her to work towards her undergraduate degree

By the time she graduated Shelly hadnrsquot worked full-time in a few years and needed to upgrade her skills She was thrilled to learn about the Continuing Studies partnership with the childrenrsquos hospice Canuck Place that provides volunteers like her with opportunities for free tuition ldquoI signed up for an Excel course that was excellent I hope to take a few more computer courses so that I can enter the job market with relevant computer training The people at Canuck Place are compassionate and strong enough to be undaunted by tears I have learned so much about life in this special placerdquo In the near future Shelly plans on earning a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology

DAVID CONGRAM | SUCCESS STORY

For many early retirement means more time to relax travel and pursue other passions But for David Congram it meant an opportunity to help out his wife Since she was still working David suggested to his wife that he assume the cooking a suggestion met with gales of laughter Spurred by his commitment to

learn and his relative inexperience in the kitchen he made the decision to take cooking courses through Langara CS at VSB

ldquoI havenrsquot always been interested in cooking but shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef peaked my interest and I wondered what training they had So when I decided to learn to cook I did some research and found Langara CS at VSB offered evening and weekend classesrdquo David registered taking five cooking courses and building his culinary skills In particular he recalls several highlights from instructors Chefs Clarence Ma and Helena Kopelow ldquoChef Ma taught us how to make several dishes such as lsquoSpicy Chicken with Vegetablersquo and lsquoCod with Tomato Saucersquo The techniques I learned allowed me to experiment with other dishes like lsquoPork with Crispy Potatorsquo and lsquoSauteed Beef and Tomatorsquordquo

ldquoChef Kopelowrsquos teaching technique is clear and concise She vocalizes her intentions then demonstrates the technique each class Shersquos always there to answer questions and her shortcuts are amazing and simple She taught me great cooking methods that gave me the confidence to make dishes such as schnitzel and tourtiererdquo

David calls his experience with Langara CS at VSB the start of ldquoa great culinary adventurerdquo With each successive course he was inspired to cook often better and with more variety ldquoThe lessons Irsquove learned from these chefs will last a lifetime Now I can read a recipe and know I can reproduce it with excellent resultsrdquo 15

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

secondary studies as a mature student at Langara College - taking one course at a time In 2014 after transferring to UBC (and several years since her first class) Shelly earned her degree in psychology ldquoI am proud of merdquo said Shelly ldquoIt took thirteen years and I wanted to give up so many times but I did it and Irsquom proud of this accomplishmentrdquo

Incredibly Shelly was also battling inflammatory arthritis anxiety and depression invisible disabilities that continue to affect her physically cognitively and emotionally Nonetheless her experience at Langara was incredible ldquoThey believed in me when I didnrsquotrdquo she shared as she recalled her inspirational professors and how they encouraged her to work towards her undergraduate degree

By the time she graduated Shelly hadnrsquot worked full-time in a few years and needed to upgrade her skills She was thrilled to learn about the Continuing Studies partnership with the childrenrsquos hospice Canuck Place that provides volunteers like her with opportunities for free tuition ldquoI signed up for an Excel course that was excellent I hope to take a few more computer courses so that I can enter the job market with relevant computer training The people at Canuck Place are compassionate and strong enough to be undaunted by tears I have learned so much about life in this special placerdquo In the near future Shelly plans on earning a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

HELOISE CORDEIRO | LEAP ALUMNA

Heloise Cordeiro came to Vancouver from Brazil in 2013 with the intention of working on her English skills for a few months before returning home to her position as a researcher Two years later shersquos graduated from Langararsquos distinguished LEAP (Langara English for Academic Purposes) Program

and is well on her way to achieving a Canadian university degree

ldquoI didnrsquot know any English at allrdquo she said ldquoI started LEAP at Level 1 and I graduated from Level 8 My instructors were so supportive when I first arrived It was tough to move to a new city a new climate but they helped me along the wayrdquo Heloise credits the natural progression of the intensive LEAP program which uses an integrated approach to speaking listening reading and writing English for her steady improvement and ability to successfully master the language ldquoThe first couple levels were vocabulary Then in Level 4 we learned to write essays and in Level 7 we learned to debate and discuss in academic terms It was important to finish Level 8 because it focused on presentation skillsrdquo

Sometimes newcomers are reluctant to let go of their native languages or customs But Heloise cautions against not engaging with others ldquoYou need to be open to meeting all kinds of people because Canada is so multicultural It doesnrsquot mean you have to change who you arerdquo

After completing the LEAP program Heloise made the smooth transition into Langararsquos university transfer program and is currently studying English biology and chemistry ldquoIf you want to transfer to a Canadian university LEAP is the right program Itrsquos intensive because each level is only seven weeks but it was exactly what I was looking forrdquo 21

Incredibly Shelly was also battling inflammatory arthritis anxiety and depression invisible disabilities that continue to affect her physically cognitively and emotionally Nonetheless her experience at Langara was incredible ldquoThey believed in me when I didnrsquotrdquo she shared as she recalled her inspirational professors and how they encouraged her to work towards her undergraduate degree

By the time she graduated Shelly hadnrsquot worked full-time in a few years and needed to upgrade her skills She was thrilled to learn about the Continuing Studies partnership with the childrenrsquos hospice Canuck Place that provides volunteers like her with opportunities for free tuition ldquoI signed up for an Excel course that was excellent I hope to take a few more computer courses so that I can enter the job market with relevant computer training The people at Canuck Place are compassionate and strong enough to be undaunted by tears I have learned so much about life in this special placerdquo In the near future Shelly plans on earning a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology

with groups looking to start new community gardens

Serving as the organizationrsquos Community Garden Mobilizer Queenie helps groups create green spaces that produce nutritious food and serve as respites to the cityrsquos concrete laden environments She envisions an ecological shift in how society manages urban landscapes that is healthier for our land and waters ldquoI want people to connect to nature in our urban environments in new ways captivated by wonderrdquo she said ldquoIrsquom inspired to create well-planned healthy gardens that encourage people to spend more time outside to appreciate the beauty of plants and to motivate them to care for our environment I want their spaces to be more than just vegetable boxesrdquo

Fueled by her inspiration in 2014 Queenie turned to Langara Continuing Studies to enhance her skillset enrolling in the Organic Landscape Management program There she found like-minded individuals who shared her appreciation for ecological and functional garden spaces Queenie learned how ecological garden design saves clients money and time through long-term planning ldquoI really appreciate the content of the courses that are based on new research from plant biology to soil life contributing to healthy plants and gardens Now I have the confidence to create a small business and get paid for what Irsquom passionate about - to further peoplersquos enjoyment of plants in the urban environment while providing ecological benefits to our city landscaperdquo 33
