The COPA network
Requests for training in COPA programs are vetted through and coordinated by COPA. COPA’s mandate is to support and develop programming in French, and French-language training materials, programs and conferences have been organized throughout the years in a variety of settings in Ontario.
COPA is also closely affiliated and provides services to English-language projects on a purchase-of-service basis or when funding is made available.
