Did you know that we have a free tutoring program here at the Eva Rothwell Centre that happens during After School Program hours?

Parents or guardians can sign up their children to get extra one-on-one support to help meet their educational goals. Students will be assigned a 45 minute time slot once per week, to work on their reading, writing, math, science, or French skills.

For more information on how to get your child enrolled in this amazing free programming to encourage academic confidence and growth, please reach out to our Program Coordinator, Tina at [email protected] or at 905-526-1558 ext. 405. Spaces are limited!

Thank you to Hamilton Community Foundation, Abacus, and JP Bickell Foundation for supporting this program!

When Robert Land School closed in 2004, Don MacVicar and caring community members from Hamilton’s North End rallied together to transform the former school into a much-needed community resource centre, now known as the Eva Rothwell Centre.

Without Don’s vision and leadership, this building and the Centre’s 20 years of impact and success would not have been possible. His unwavering dedication and deep passion for the North End laid the foundation for what the Eva Rothwell Centre is today. Don’s commitment to children, youth, and families has inspired generations and transformed countless lives. Through his leadership and belief in the potential of the community, hundreds of children and families have found hope, opportunity, and support.

We are profoundly grateful for Don’s legacy, and for the difference he continues to make through the Centre he helped create.
