Ecole Communautaire Ascension

A project of PIH co-founder Father Lafontant’s sister, Yolaine Lafontant, the school in the community of Blanchard was constructed in 2004. Communities like Blanchard-Péligre had once thrived in the plateau before the dam flooded their land. Lakeside and nestled beneath a grove of trees, the school provides a closer option for the Blanchard children who would otherwise need to cross a lake to attend school in the community of Chapoteau.
