The North End Community Renewal Corporation (NECRC) was founded in 1998 by a coalition of Winnipeg organizations who were concerned about some of the trends in the north end of Winnipeg and who were aware of the good results that community development corporations in other parts of North American were achieving in revitalizing inner city communities. The NECRC was established to serve the community within the geographic area north of the CP tracks, south of Carruthers Ave., east of McPhillips Street and west of the Red River.The mandate of the corporation is to promote the social, economic and cultural renewal of the north end of Winnipeg. It does this by improving the quality and accessibility of housing, creating jobs, upgrading commercial and industrial areas, implementing employment development programs, improving the overall image of the community, and reducing crime in the community. The corporation provides co-ordination activities and a strategic focus for many of the community improvement activities taking place in the north end.NECRC is committed to the social, economic and cultural renewal of the North End of Winnipeg.NECRC defines its development goals through annual consultations and ongoing networking with North End residents and businesses

CasaCasaCasa Montessori & Orff combines the philosophies and methods of early childhood education pioneers, offering a beautiful and enriched learning environment that has, at its core, an appreciation for the importance of cultural and creative activities. Our vision with both schools, in the spirit of Dr. Montessori's philosophy, is to create an environment that will touch the imagination of the child and enthuse them to their innermost core.Montessori education begins with the simple tenet that children can best fulfill their true potential when encouraged to follow their own natural inclinations to learn. The Montessori Method, founded by Maria Montessori, has been successful in developing the intellectual, physical, creative and social skills of young children since the turn of the twentieth century. In a trusting and non-competitive atmosphere, children gain self-confidence, independence and inner discipline through their own choice of purposeful, meaningful work.Similarly, the Orff Method of music education, developed by German composer and educator Carl Orff, follows the natural musical responses of children and incorporates them into satisfying musical experiences created and performed by the children themselves
