CSLI (Canadian as a Second Language Institute) is a unique international English located in the Yaletown area of downtown Vancouver.
	Owned and operated by Lori-Ann and Lawrence Keenan for the last 10 years, it focuses on bringing cultures together with the purpose of developing greater tolerance and understanding of cultures through a common language. Over 10,000 students have come together from over 70 countries since 1992.
CSLI, through its staff, homestay families and its students, have encouraged greater awareness of world events through fund-raising abroad (including such causes as disaster and war relief in Peru, Turkey, Kosovo, Kobe (Japan), Honduras, Korea) as well as local efforts (such as Police Support Against Domestic Violence, Canadian Volunteers Abroad, Vancouver Food Bank for The Homeless, the Annual Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research and Vancouver Children Charity Club). In addition CSLI sponsors four underprivileged children overseas who are being supported as they grow, so that once they are old enough, they will in turn be provided English classes at CSLI.
	Students at CSLI, as part of their English education also contribute to the community through volunteer and intern positions in non-profit and businesses in the Vancouver community. Included in this program is the opportunity for foreign students to make presentations at local schools about their countries. A number of students come from Quebec, and while learning English, they also offer overseas students insight into Canada's other official language and culture. Through the CSLI homestay program, students also have the chance to truly experience living Canada by sharing in a Canadian family's home.
