In November 2024, the agency moved to a modern downtown office, featuring a state-of-the-art computer lab that doubles as a classroom and meeting place for tutors and learners.
Who we are
Our History
TCLC is proud to help learners reach success with their chosen goal paths:
- Employment
- Apprenticeship
- Secondary school credit
- Post-secondary education
- Independence
Tri-County Literacy Council was founded in Cornwall, Ontario in 1986 after a small grassroots group identified training gaps in the community. To help rural learners and others who faced barriers in attending existing educational programs, the group secured funding and recruited volunteer tutors, and started offering free, confidential tutoring as well as small-group training. In its first year, the agency served 10 learners but quickly scaled its offerings to accommodate more than 100 learners.
By 2001, they relocated to a famous local landmark—the Trinity Anglican Church manse at 101 Second Street West, Cornwall—to accommodate increased programming.
Tri-County Literacy Council contributes to a larger network, Literacy Link Eastern Ontario, and partners with T.R. Leger Alternative School and St. Lawrence College.
