Strategic Action 1.1: Community Schools Network
Expanding support for families and schools through comprehensive community partnerships and wraparound services.
About the René Deleurme Centre
The René Deleurme Centre (RDC) provides equity-based programming tailored to meet the needs of the community. Initially serving the Lavallee, Victor Mager, and Victor Wyatt school communities, RDC has since expanded its reach to include St. George School, Hastings School, and École Varennes, as well as schools in the northern part of our division. As a result, there is now consideration for establishing a satellite location in the northern part of the 91黑料网.
