Community Activities
Our Community Development program supports community based groups and organizations, engagement in social action, and the identification of community needs and future project development.
Community Development
The activities in the community development program at the LCRC are consistent with the principles of:
- Support for empowerment
- Listening to the community
- Transformational practice
- Partnership and collaboration
These four principles form the basis of community development work and translate into various activities carried out by the Lowertown Community Resource Centre for the benefit of the Lowertown residents and which meet their priority needs.
Contact Alain, our Community Development Agent if you have any questions or require more information. He is ready to meet with any and all residents to share on ideas for initiatives that they would like to carry out in our neighborhood. You can reach him at: alutala@crcbv.ca and 613-789-3930, ext: 314
Community Gardens
Beginning each spring, people interested in gardening come together to work in the community gardens. From planting to harvesting, the people meet and work together to do the tasks needed in order to get a bountiful garden.
Income Tax Clinics
Every year, every Tuesday night from February to April, the LCRC offers income tax clinics where low-income people can have their tax forms filled by volunteers free of charge.
