Co-ops across western Canada are helping to create places for everyone through the Co-op Community Spaces Program. This year one million dollars is available to support capital projects dedicated to recreation, environmental conservation and urban agriculture.
Co-op Community Spaces was launched in 2015 to help protect, beautify and improve local spaces. Since then it has provided 10.5 million dollars to 147 projects including parks, greenhouses and sports fields.
Co-op invites registered non-profit organizations, registered charities or community service co-operatives to apply online until March 1st. Funding between 25 thousand and 150 thousand dollars is available per project. To learn more about Community Spaces or to apply for funding visit www.communityspaces.ca.
In 2019 The Pas Families Building a Better Community received 25 thousand dollars for playground equipment through the Swan Valley Co-op.
