When Ontario’s definition of education changed more than a decade ago, adults were kicked off the list of worthy causes by the provincial government of the day. Adults over 20 get only one-third the Ministry of Education funding of their younger classmates, and as a result Ontario’s adult programs largely exist because of the educational charity of school boards. The Toronto District School Board gives generously to the adult cause with five schools, the largest of which is the City Adult Learning Centre.
