at the St-Charles Center,1055 Hibernia

The citizens of the Point are invited to come and learn about the renovations and improvements planned for the Center and the library across the street... and to give their opinions about these community facilities (ex.arena,pool)  and how public spaces in the surrounding area should be developed.

An invitation to eat and meet brought to you by: The People’s Urban Planning Project of the Point (OPA in French).

This new project is the brainchild of workers at the Point St. Charles Community Clinic and is designed to recognize and promote the efforts of neighbourhood women who go back to school. We believe that having a diploma certainly helps to find a job and thus improve neighbourhood families’ quality of life.

For who?

The “I’m going to get my diploma” Contest is directed at pregnant young women or women with a child aged five or under who are currently enrolled in a high school level study program or the equivalent (secondary school vocational diploma or certificate of studies) and who live in Pointe-Saint-Charles. In May 2010, the contest will end with a party to celebrate the participants’ efforts and successes. Certificates, money prizes and other items will be awarded.

The Community Legal Services in collaboration with the Community clinic invite you:
