About this Event

We live, work and serve in a growing multicultural Canada.  What cultural lenses are we looking through?  What things can I learn about the way I and people from other nationalities communicate?  How will this help me be less offensive in my cross-cultural friendships and help me communicate important truths?


Speaker Professor David Catterick, Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics and the Program Director of the BA Applied Linguistics: TESOL program at Briercrest College and Seminary, hosted by Connecting Streams.


This Event will be in person in Edmonton and Online via Zoom.
