Lake Trail Community Education Society
Lake Trail Community Education Society (LTCES) is a charitable organization based out of Lake Trail Community School in West Courtenay.
We offer programs and outreach activities based on the needs of the community including after school and youth programming, a community garden and outdoor hub, community events and drop-in evenings, and a free salad bar program for Lake Trail students.
LTCES is actively engaged in the life of the school and community and strives to make the school a neighbourhood hub accessible to everyone.
Our programs are offered for free, by donation, or with bursaries available, making them 100% financially barrier free.
Lake Trail Community Education Society creates meaningful and purposeful connections through programming and opportunities that support and strengthen our diverse community.
LTCES offers programming and opportunities for all ages. We recognize that intergenerational connections are a key part of a healthy community.
As a charity, we are able to harness the power of volunteers, community partner agencies, and our relationship with the school to create a space where all community members can feel a sense of belonging and connection.
We are fortunate to live in a community that offers wonderful opportunities for youth, including the Youth Media Project at the Comox Valley Art Gallery.
Recently, LTCES received a heartfelt video created by youth artist Heather Watson. We are thrilled to utilize this film to showcase our programs and opportunities, inviting more people to get involved with LTCES.
A big thank you to everyone at the Comox Valley Art Gallery and the Youth Media Project team!
