All schools in BC can be Neighbourhood Learning Centres (NLCs), inviting places where people of all ages can access education, community services, recreation and culture seven days a week, twelve months a year – places that promote the well-being of children, families and the entire community. Neighbourhood Learning Centres look different in every community. They encompass a range of models including community schools, community hubs, schools with municipal recreation services and schools with community services such as health care, theatres, libraries, early learning facilities, seniors centres and cultural centres.
