The GTLLI (in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada)
offers lecture courses on a diverse range of topics.
Our intention is to stimulate the mind, intellect and soul
of our members. Learning, understanding and becoming more aware of the
world at large, of our communities and of ourselves is the primary goal of the
Georgian Triangle Lifelong Learning Institute.
ABOUT US
The GTLLI
is a self-funded not-for-profit organization.
It is managed by an all volunteer Board of Directors
(elected as outlined in our
constitution). The GTLLI
was founded in 1995.
Some of our Founding Members had attended Lifelong learning courses at
Glendon College
(York University, Toronto).
We relied on that organization to help us get started organizationally.
They also provided our first group of lecturers.
Eventually we branched out, using lecturers from other universities in the vicinity.
Fortunately there seemed to be an abundance of high-quality people willing to
teach a 2 hour lecture for a reasonable fee - a practice that continues to this
day.
We
have no restrictions on our membership, however we do emphasize courses
that would appeal particularly to the more mature crowd.
We are not a social club, nor do we engage in activities that would be
considered either activist, political or entertainment.
The GTLLI's
mandate is to provide a unique learning experience for its members.
Our aim is to fill an intellectual vacuum in the area,
not to duplicate what another group is already doing
nor pursue any activity which one can find elsewhere in the region.
