In the Community Learning Centres (CLC) network, we often struggle to explain what we do. That’s because the CLC is like an idea blowing across the province showing up in myriad ways. Here we share the stories so that you can see it and believe it too – CLCs make a huge difference to student engagement and the vitality of English Linguistic Minority communities across Quebec.

Knitting Club



Knitting Club
La Tuque High School
Michelle Reed-Pepin
Once a week at lunch Primary Cycle 2 and Cycle 3 students in the LaTuque CLC knitting club learned proper knitting techniques to make dish clothes for a local charity in the town of La Tuque. Each student has made 2-3 items this year and some students have taught fellow schoolmates to knit. There was a genuine need for this work because a local charity holds an annual Christmas event that is big in La Tuque. Everyone from the community donates homemade goods to raise money for underprivileged families in the area.


The knitting club also creates a positive space for students to learn a new craft/skill, and offers a chance for some students to make new friends.
