“These public schools are the bedrock of the society we have built, and public libraries have a place right alongside them. The two are interwoven. They are the warp and woof of our democracy. We still need to ensure that all our citizens have this access to knowledge, to the skills and opportunities that they need if they are to participate responsibly in society. Our schools and libraries are essential to this success, to the social equality that Canadians are working so hard to build.”
~ Adrienne Clarkson, Former Governor General of Canada

The mission of the Aulneau Renewal Centre is to create opportunities and to provide resources for children, youth and adults to build relationships and be renewed.
