Welcome to the Academy for Lifelong Learning Toronto!
About the Academy for Lifelong Learning Toronto
The Academy for Lifelong Learning (ALLTO) was formed in 1991 so that members could enjoy learning together. Its core value is peer learning. ALLTO members share their knowledge both as participants and as facilitators in daytime workshops from September through March. During the year, members also enjoy a series of forums and talks by invited guests, participate in special interest groups, and join curated walks around Toronto. Members volunteer their skills to create a vibrant organization of friends and colleagues.
