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.

Project of Heart Centennial Regional High School CLC


Centennial Regional High School CLC
Riverside School Board

CRHS, on Montreal’s South Shore, has over 1100 students from 68 different cultural backgrounds! With less than 10 identified Aboriginal students, two teachers of History & Citizenship classes decided to present PoH within a broader study of cultural genocides in world history. Many students who are Newcomers to Canada were surprised to learn about IRS history, and could relate Aboriginal experiences here to atrocities in their own countries of origin. 
The concept that everyone, at some point in their life, has been marginalized or isolated for a reason beyond their control, really allowed students to relate to the project and fight against bullying of all kinds.  
By the end there were over 300 students who participated, over 1200 tiles decorated, and 5 teachers on board!
