Get Your Message Across in the Shortest Time Possible


Plain language techniques make your written communications clear — and they help the audience easily understand your intended message. The Government of Canada’s communications policy states, “An institution’s duty to inform the public includes the obligation to communicate effectively….To ensure clarity and consistency of information, plain language and proper grammar must be used in all communication with the public.”

This workshop will provide you with skills needed to communicate clearly, concisely, coherently, and correctly. You will learn how to gear each piece of communication to its intended audience, always keeping the needs of the audience in mind.

An open enrollment session allows you to learn and grow with people from different organizations.
Open to all members of the public.

Participant reviews

“This course made me think of the quote “The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don’t know.” I will certainly need to pay closer attention to my writing, and you have provided some great tools to do so. Great course! Thank you!”
