I would recommend starting at libraries. I know that some libraries here in Alberta have internet and computer use classes for seniors and ESL/Canadian newcomers.

Here at my patient library, we have two Wyse Terminals for people to access the internet free of charge to search for health information.

happy searching.

Does anyone know of any resources, or a location that I can obtain
information that demonstrates how many persons with low health literacy
and/or low literacy skills have Internet Access?
