Lake Trail Community Middle School: A neighbourhood centre accessible to all.
Update from LTCES
While After School and Community Programs have been cancelled or postponed, LTCES staff are busy working from home and in the Lake Trail Community School Garden, planning and connecting with our community through this unique time.
Food cultivation, including community gardens, have been defined as essential services in the fight against COVID-19. Our current focus is on food security and connectivity. Visit our Community Garden and Programming pages for updates.
Community School Societies are positioned to be of support for our community over the long-term. We will continue to assess local needs and options for programs and outreach activities which will be of benefit as we navigate changes into the summer and fall.
During the closure of the school and office, you can continue to contact us at any time with suggestions or ideas. Please feel free to email Lake Trail Community School Coordinator, Anna Rambow, at: LTCMSCoordinator@sd71.bc.ca
We are thinking of you all and hoping that you are staying healthy and safe!

What is a Community School?
A Community School takes one of the largest and most under-utilized public facilities, the public school, and increases the investment by keeping it open evenings, weekends and during the summer for community activities.
Through multi-ministry funding and non-profit partnerships, community schools address the needs of all age groups, with programs for pre-school children, after school care, and adult education and recreation. The expanded mandate of the educational system in recent years has strengthened the potential of community schools in British Columbia.
LTCES
In 2019, Lake Trail Middle School and Lake Trail Community Education Society (LTCES) received official community school designation. The development of Lake Trail Community Middle School moving forward is a collaborative partnership between Lake Trail Community Education Society and Lake Trail Middle School.
Our Mission: Lake Trail Community Education Society promotes an integrated focus on lifelong learning, healthy lifestyles, community development and engagement leading to improved learning, stronger families and a healthier community. Lake Trail Community Middle School strives to be a neighbourhood centre accessible to everyone.
