The Russian Language and Culture Education Society of Alberta's mission is to provide a high-quality EAL education, which prepares students to learn, to work, and to live fully; to help newcomers acquire English as fast as possible and to adapt themselves to a new culture. Their purpose is to assist students in reaching their educational, vocational, linguistic, and personal goals. They aim to preserve Russian Heritage (language, traditions, culture, customs) among Russian speaking Canadians and newcomers; provide help with daily life issues and settlement services; help with a better understanding of Canadian multiculturalism (for example, multicultural women's group to share recipes, crafts, stories, topic discussions, guest speakers, interest groups, etc.); and give all newcomers equal opportunities to fully use their potentials (sport activities, cultural festivals, etc.).
