Inner Winnipeg faces a number of challenges. Not every family or community has access to the same economic opportunities and social supports, or even to the basics that children need to succeed. Impoverished living conditions can result in a number of other challenges like neighbourhood violence, emotional trauma, homelessness, and hunger. Children living in these environments are coping with high stress levels that can impact learning and affect how well they perform in school. Access to education is a serious issue because it affects the quality of life and prospects of children, families, and neighbourhoods. It is a root cause of many other issues including joblessness, crime and violence, poor physical and mental health, and neighbourhood decline. The Westland Foundation believes that post secondary education is critical to the future of the students we support and to the betterment of our society.

Founded in 1855 as the Owen Sound Mechanics' Institute, the Library has grown into a full-services public library serving the needs of residents and taxpayers of the City of Owen Sound, the Township of Chatsworth, the Township of Georgian Bluffs and the Municipality of Meaford (former Sydenham Township portion.) The Mechanics’ Institute Library and Reading Room was housed in various downtown Owen Sound locations. A purpose-built permanent building on First Avenue West, The Carnegie Library, was built in 1914 with a grant from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation. The old Carnegie Library was renovated and an addition was added to the north end in 1973, creating the 22,500 sq. foot library building that we know today. Extensive renovations of the Carnegie Library were completed in April 2003 and in the Children & Youth Services Department in 2009. The Library celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2005.
