Resources
We are sure that many of you have heard repeatedly that getting an education is very important! We know that no matter who you are or where you come from, you might sometimes have questions that you need answered so you can make the right decisions for you!
This page has some suggestions for services/resources available in your area where you can get answers not only to questions about education but other things that might be happening in your life where you need a little help.
There are people in your communities to help – both professional and personal. This guide may help you find a person or an agency who can help you with some really important things in life that might affect your ability to get to school.
Often, it’s hard to find the place to start – especially if you’ve been out of school for a while. Through the Ontario Education Championship Team of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville and Renfrew, we have built this resource for you to help in your journey. Please take a moment and click on the URLs under the titles to access services in your area.
