The Simcoe/Muskoka Literacy Network (SMLN) is your information source about essential skills training and academic upgrading for adults in Simcoe County and Muskoka.

Literacy skills are skills necessary to function as a contributing member of the community.  These skills include everything from reading and writing to math to participating in society.

Essential Skills are the skills people need for work, learning and life.  They include literacy and are the basis for learning all other skills.

Each year in Ontario, about 50,000 people decide to upgrade their skills for work, further training, and life.

Response to COVID19 Pandemic

Our building is closed to the public, but SMLN continues to provide services remotely.  Please contact us by phone or e-mail.

Agencies that provide adult upgrading programs have cancelled face-to-face classes and tutoring sessions for the time being.  They are closed to the public, but staff are supporting students and volunteers by phone, e-mail, and internet.  Courses and other learning activities are being offered by distance, either on-line or by mail.  Most are accepting new students.

Please call or e-mail your service provider to keep up to date.
