The Tualatin River Watershed Council links land, water and people. We bring together all interests in the basin to promote and improve watershed health. We work together through cooperation, collaboration and communication.  All of our actions affect the health of our watershed. We need your help in improving our watershed’s health!

The Tualatin River Watershed Council was formed in 1996 to provide coordinated and integrated resource planning for the Tualatin River Watershed.  Its purpose is to: Increase local input in management of watershed resources. Initiate resolution of problems and issues within the watershed. Identify problems and issues of importance to local citizens, groups, and users of the watershed. Diminish and eliminate further degradation of the watershed and its resources through better management practices. Increase the viability, diversity, and health of the watershed. Undertake a proactive approach in management of the watershed.

Le module communautaire unique du Collège Jean de la Mennais est soutenu financièrement par la Fondation Jean de la Mennais. Cette action communautaire et sociale implique plus de 500 personnes : garçons et filles, chez les élèves actuels, les anciens et le personnel du collège. Étant impliqués dans l’action communautaire, ces jeunes sont témoins au fil des ans de la qualité des liens tissés entre eux et les personnes aidées : des liens empreints de respect, de compassion, d’écoute, de sensibilité, de chaleur et de vie. De cette expérience unique, chacun en retire du bonheur, de la reconnaissance et de l’espoir. Ces rencontres sensibilisent les élèves du collège aux réalités humaines et spirituelles de ce monde. À travers leur engagement, ces dernières deviennent les artisans d’une société où l’entraide et l’acceptation des différences se veulent des assises solides.

Integration Action for Inclusion in Education and Community (Ontario) is an action-oriented association, parent support group consisting of parents, educators and concerned citizens, who are advocates for the inclusion of all children in their neighbourhood schools and in the community. We believe that all children have the right to a quality education that will prepare them for a full and productive life in the community. It is our belief that the best way to prepare children who need extra support is to educate them alongside their peers. This is achieved through individualized programming and supports for all children. Successful inclusion of a child needing extra support benefits not only the child, but also his or her friends and peers, the education system and society as a whole.
