Jiangs LINC teacher Yvonne Hiney concurred wholeheartedly: "We've needed a program likc this for a long tîme." ESINC is a partnership bctween Flalton Emcrgency Medîcal Services (EMS), the fire departments of Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Hahton Hilîs, as well as the Halton Multicultural Council (HMC) and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. its a made-in-Halion programn whereby members of police, fire and EMS attend English as a Second Language classes and conduct a presen- talion explaining who they are, how they operate, whaî to, expect and how to reach them (including a 91.1 overview).
