Co-op Community Spaces rebuilding community connections
As residents of Western Canada are coming back together, Co-op Community Spaces is funding 15 local projects that will help rebuild community connections.
This year, Co-op is providing $1 million in funding for local projects like restoring a natural green roof on an interpretive centre in Stonewall, Man., building a multi-use trail network along the North Saskatchewan River near Langham, Sask., a covered outdoor pavilion in Camrose, Alta. and a community garden and learning space to provide food education in Langley, B.C.
“The last 15 months have been a challenging time for people across Western Canada. As communities begin to safely re-open, Co-op is providing spaces for residents to rebuild their community connections,” explained Pam Skotnitsky, Vice-President of Strategy at Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL).
“Community is at the heart of so much of what Co-op does. Creating connection and improving the places we live, work and play reflects the values of Co-op and the Community Spaces program.”
