Study on the conditions for success of the
Centres scolaires et communautaires
Prepared by Ronald Bisson and Associates Inc.
Over the years, the Official Languages Support Program Branch (OLSPB) at the Department of Canadian Heritage has provided financial assistance to more than 70 community and cultural centres in most regions of the country, of which about 20 are attached to minority education institutions. Such investments were building on the tenet that community-based institutions constitute a focal point whose rippling effect positively impacts the development of official-language minority communities.
The Department has commissioned a study to obtain the first global picture of our investments in the school-community cooperation model. Not only does it provide a strategic overview of the various approaches that were used, it also offers a number of findings and recommendations relating to the viability of such resources and how they can best contribute to the development of the communities in which they have their roots.
The Department will use these elements when assessing future project proposals for school-community centres as well as any other type of official-language minority community resource or infrastructure.
The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and in no way commit the Department of Canadian Heritage.
