Improve your public speaking with Toastmasters

A great way to improve your speaking ability (listening and vocabulary too),  build your confidence,  engage in networking,  and integrate into Canadian culture is to join Toastmasters.    This is a voluntary organization that meets weekly.   There are 12 clubs in Nanaimo,  and in particular there is one at Vancouver Island University -- Toastmasters on the Hill.  

You can read more about what Toastmasters does on their website.
