About Us

The LCRC has been offering a range of social and community services to individuals and families residing in Lowertown East and West since 1970.

Our catchment area is: Sussex Parkway (West) to St Patrick (North) to Vanier Parkway (East) to Rideau Street (South). We aim to be a helping hand, when it is needed, for all members of our community.

The LCRC is a non-profit organization with a Board of Directors whose members are elected by Lowertown residents.

The LCRC is part of a coalition of 13 community resource and health centres which serve the Ottawa area. To find out which one covers your area of the city, visit the Web site of the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres.

Mission

The Lowertown Community Resource Centre (LCRC) offers free social services and support to residents in our community, in all their diversity, to improve their quality of life.

Vision

A Centre that residents know, identify with and engage in.

Values

Inclusion
Empowerment
Mutual Help
Respect
Wellness

Our existing services and programs have been responding to the needs of Lowertown residents for many years now. They are the solid foundation that allows us to add innovative new projects. Our devoted, professional and above all compassionate and solution-oriented team make miracles with relatively little.
