CITIZENSHIP MISSION

The mission of the Laval Liberty High School ‘Responsible Citizen Program’ is to create accessible volunteer opportunities so that every student can have a positive impact at school, in the community, and the world. Through participation with volunteer initiatives we desire to strengthen the character of our students. In partnership with Desjardins Caisse de Chomedey we seek to create yearly recognition of service.

Chris Karigiannis and 3PPCLI Memorial Award’ for the graduate who has preformed outstanding citizenship work over three years and who is in excellent academic standing. 3PPCLI members travel from Edmonton, Alberta annually to present this prestigious award that the Federal Government of Canada has duplicated using the Laval Liberty model for select high schools across Canada.

 

COMMUNITY

Lise Montagne, Laval Liberty High School’s Community Learning Centre Coordinator, and Cheryl Smith, Spiritual and Community Animator, are the key allies to draw in support and to establish volunteer opportunities with community groups. Peter Karigiannis, Sgt. Chris Karigiannis’ brother, is an integral member of our Panthers family.
