Parents with elementary-level children have a new resource in town to assist with their child’s homework. Homework Help will be provided by a volunteer qualified experienced teacher at the new Community Resource Centre at 4752 Joyce Avenue from 5:00pm-6:00pm Monday to Thursday. The trial program began on November 5 and will run until December 13 with a possibility of continuing into January if there is a need.

The program works on a sliding scale, which means that parents pay only what they can afford (it’s free to those who can afford nothing).

Staff are welcoming retired teachers who are willing to spare 1-4 hours a week for the program. For more information about volunteering or participating in the program, call the Centre at 604 485-0992 or just drop in.
