Program details
School year 2025-2026
The Lowertown After-School Program, formerly known as Club 310, is offered free of charge by the Lowertown Community Resource Centre (LCRC), now in partnership with the City of Ottawa.
It aims to provide children aged 6 to 12 with a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment after school.
At the LCRC’s after-school program, children take part in a variety of activities and are supervised by a caring team of bilingual educators and facilitators in a safe environment. We focus on physical activity and mental and social well-being. We also provide a healthy snack every day.
Our after-school program is free and open to youth who live in Lowertown, with priority given to low-income families.
Valid proof of address and proof of family income are required to ensure that our services primarily meet the needs of local families. Families must therefore meet the following two criteria:
- Be a resident of Lowertown (proof of address required). Check our service area here
- Have a family income below the eligible income threshold according to the LICO table (proof of income required).
N.B. If there are unfilled spaces, they will be made available to Lowertown children from families who do not meet the income criteria.
Registration opens on August 21. To streamline the process, online registration will be done in three (3) steps:
- Pre-registration: online registration (limited places, waiting list possible).
- Submission of documents: proof of address and income to be sent to the team at programmesjeunesse@crcbv.ca
- Confirmation: official validation by our team and allocation of places
Residents who are not eligible for this free program (i.e. those who do not meet the income criteria or who live in a neighbourhood other than the Lowertown) can try to register through the City of Ottawa at the following link: Registration Ottawa City
