Isn't it annoying how we need computers to do anything these days? Become slightly less annoyed by taking our Basic Computers Course!

Basic Computers is our most often requested course after Introduction to Mobile Devices. We will give you the tools to navigate your operating system, use a mouse without thinking about it, change your settings to accommodate your preferences, and even peak inside a computer tower directly!

If you've put off getting wise to the Digital Age long enough, call us at whichever site is nearest to you and leave a message so we can add you to our waitlist. We'll call you the minute there is room in our schedule.

The Learning Centre will be closed Wednesday, September 30th to respect the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.

NCLC recognizes the Sagamok, Mississauga, Métis, and Anishnaabeg peoples who both historically and continue to steward the land upon which our centres operate. We stand in solidarity with these indigenous communities and with indigenous people within our communities. There can be no reconciliation without truth.

"It's amazing how strong we can be when we act out of love and respect and know we are a part of something much larger than ourselves.

May we all find the strength, warmth, and support to be able to speak our truths."

-- Garnet Angeconeb, from "Speaking My Truth: The Journey to Reconciliation."
