Community Programs

Community schools are natural centres for activity in neighbourhoods and can play a key role in improving outcomes for communities.

LTCES offers regular community drop-in programming, workshops, and events, providing safe and accessible points of connection for community members.

We are continually building community partner relationships and providing joint programs such as the Repair Café, Earth Day Free Store, and Community Connections Day.

We are working to build connections to place and land through use of the Roy Stewart Morrison Forest and our Community School Garden and Outdoor Hub.

Repair Cafes aim to reduce waste, fix the throw-away culture, share repair knowledge and create better community. Volunteers make Repair Cafés happen! Our volunteer ‘Fixers’ may have a lot of experience in one area or are just handy and willing to take a try at repairing a broken item. Or maybe you’d like to help with setup and clean up before and/or after.
