What a cool blast-from-the-past blog post on programming, David! It's so interesting to see what was offered so long ago, especially with how popular programs are today! For instance, in 2015:
- 220,000 people attended preschool programs
- 83,000 people attended ESL programs
- 43,000 people attended technology training programs
- 207,000 people attended cultural programs
*Numbers were taken out of the 2016-2019 Strategic Plan.
