Co-op Community Spaces has provided 8.5 million dollars to 115 projects since 2015. Social Responsibility Supervisor Lindsay Arnott says they are accepting applications for projects that help protect, beautify and improve spaces across western Canada. She explains they provide funding for capital projects that really are designed to bring people together and bring communities together so they fund projects in three different categories including recreation, environmental conservation and urban agriculture so things like playgrounds or skate parks, nature centres, community gardens, community kitchens that’s a lot of the type of projects that they fund.
Between 25 thousand and 150 thousand dollars of capital funding is available per project with application forms available online at www.communityspaces.ca until March 2nd.
