The province, the federal government and the College of New Caledonia want to make it easier for newcomers to Canada to learn English in Valemount.
CNC's Valemount Learning Society received $40,000 this week from the English as a Second Language Settlement Assistance Program.
The funding will go towards a co-ordinator who will recruit and help train volunteer tutors to teach English.
ESLSAP is a part of WelcomeBC, a provincial program that provides a range of services for immigrants.
The $40,000 is part of a $1.6 million round of funding to 42 service service providers in 50 communities.
