A surprising and generous donation has come to us from a local youth who believes in our cause. Are you ready for it? Sophia Vaillant has two extra tickets to the infamous Eras tour in Vancouver and has offered to raffle off the opportunity to join her at the concert!!! Tickets to the Eras tour are fetching as much as $5000.00 each on secondary selling sites and prices are rising as the concert draws near.
Sophia came up with the idea of a raffle and Friendship Bracelet Making Party after volunteering with us this summer. We are thrilled by the offer and the way Sophia wants to use this opportunity to grow connections in the community!
LTCES is hoping to raise $20,000 with the raffle and party. Excitement is in the air as the staff and volunteers prepare for what promises to be the most fun fundraiser yet. Find out more and PURCHASE TICKETS HERE!

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.
