History
Teaching literacy to adults has two origins in the region : 1) a group of professionals and the ADDS Haut-Saint-Laurent collaborated to respond to the needs in literacy in French in 1981; 2) at the beginning of the 1990ies, professionals and volunteers got together to answer the needs of the Anglophone population in literacy.
The two groups joined right from the beginning of the 90ies to form the Centre de formation communautaire de Huntingdon better known in the English community as the Huntingdon Learning Centre. It received its
letters patent in 1992. This bilingual Centre transformed across the years to become what it is today, a centre accredited and financed by the ministère de l’Éducation des Loisirs et des Sports, and well renowned in the region.
The Huntingdon Learning Centre works in partnership with both local school-boards, Vallée-des-Tisserands and New Frontiers, to offer quality literacy training both in French and English and English and French second language.
