Good News from Xsrata Mines!

January 2007 started out with good news from Xstrata Nickel Montcalm mines.

They graciously donated $4995 to the Timmins Learning Centre for the purchase of a much-needed photocopier.

More good news!

In March, ABC Canada Gift of Words presented by Starbucks donated $1500 towards the purchase of a new book collection. We are very grateful for this collection; it offers a variety of stories and learning materials to children in our one to one and drop-in programs. With this collection, we hope to be able to continue to offer a variety of material that will meet everyone’s individual taste.

The Timmins Learning Centre is a registered not for profit charity. 

All donations are eligible for a tax receipt.

Currently we are fundraising for the Homework Club.

The Timmins Learning Centre would like to continue to offer assistance to parents and their children so that these students can move on academically with confidence.  By becoming an A+ Supporter, you will make a difference in a child’s life.  Many children experience mild to extreme learning difficulties in school.  Whether these difficulties are short term or long term, 1-1 tutoring is a proven, effective method to help these children succeed. Presently, 35% of the population in Timmins has less than a grade 9 education, and the current high school dropout rate is more than 30%.  Many parents lack the skills and education to assist their children with homework.  Yet all children should have the opportunity to become confident adults able to contribute to the growth and the economy of our country. By becoming an A+ Supporter you will be helping a child achieve that goal.

All donors will be recognized as valuable partners by having their names added to our A+ Supporter’s Wall of Recognition.  The total cost for a child in our program is  $500 per year. This amount covers tutoring sessions, books, learning materials, computer programs, volunteer recruitment and training, workshops for parents, and administrative charges.

The Timmins Learning Centre is funded by the Literacy and Basic Skills Section of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, 
and is a community-based, not-for-profit, charitable organization.
