Federated Co-operatives Ltd. is funding 15 local projects in Western Canada through its Co-op Community Spaces initiative.
This year, the organization 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,” said Pam Skotnitsky, FCL’s VP of strategy. “As communities begin to safely re-open, Co-op is providing spaces for residents to rebuild their community connections.”
