Our Story : The New Carlisle Community Learning Centre Developmental Evaluation Report

The New Carlisle Community Learning Centre (NCHS CLC) is one of 37 community schools in Quebec. We are located in a small town on the Gaspesian Peninsula. Many people refer to the location as The Baie Des Chaleur. Our vibrant CLC is located in the town of New Carlisle, within New Carlisle High School. The centre was established to encourage lifelong learning by facilitating access to services and offering support to families, students and community members. The founders believed that a CLC would bridge the noticeable gaps in rural communities like ours, balancing the playing field so that our community would have the same opportunities as more fortunate and larger areas. Therefore, the CLC’s main goal is to link partners together to create a culture of lifelong learning that enhances the capacity of the population to live in healthy vibrant communities.
