About RDC
René Deleurme Centre — Community Learning in Louis Riel School Division
About the René Deleurme Centre
The René Deleurme Centre (RDC) is a community learning centre within Louis Riel School Division. RDC serves as a welcoming hub where community members can access supports, services, learning opportunities, and community activities — all developed with community voice and changing needs in mind.
RDC brings together a wide range of community stakeholders, including newcomer settlement services, family outreach, daycare, adult literacy, and adult English as an Additional Language (EAL) programming. All programming is equity-based and responsive to the needs of the communities we serve.
Programs and services at RDC include adult learning and skill-building opportunities, community clinics (vision care, flu, tax, dental health, EIA, Service Manitoba, and francophone services), training programs such as First Aid and Food Handler Certification, and Indigenous cultural programming including Full Moon Ceremonies, Beading & Breakfast, and traditional teachings.
RDC also provides food security supports — including a weekly Food Depot, Fresh Food Box, and Emergency Food Hampers — as well as free coffee and tea, phone, computer, Wi-Fi and printing access, and a clothing closet.
Land Acknowledgment
The Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) brings together a community of schools on the traditional land of the Anishinaabeg, Ininewak, and Dakota. Our division is located on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We recognize that Manitoba is also the traditional land of the Anishininiwak and Dene.
We respect the treaties made on this land and acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and present. We dedicate ourselves to authentic alliances with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and cooperation.
We recognize and honour Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg's life-sustaining drinking water, as well as the Treaty Territories that generate and provide the electricity that powers daily activity throughout the province and beyond.
The ongoing development of LRSD's land acknowledgement is guided by our Indigenous Council of Grandmothers and Grandfathers, and we thank them for their generosity and collaboration.
La reconnaissance des terres de la DSLR
La Division scolaire Louis-Riel (DSLR) réunit une communauté d'écoles sur les terres traditionnelles des Anishinaabeg, Ininewak et Dakota.

Le développement continu de la reconnaissance des terres de la DSLR est dirigé par notre conseil autochtone des grands-mères et des grands-pères, que nous remercions de sa générosité et de sa collaboration.
