“The Rama Recreation board helps make an impact in the Community with their fundraising efforts and free events they put on for the kids and residents. The major project they completed with the help of grants and fundraising was the new play structures at the park.”

“Our newly renovated multi-sport court (pickleball, basketball, tennis) needs portable pickleball net systems. With these nets’ community members will be able to have four games going on at once. The pickleball community in Canora is growing and gives all ages an opportunity to participate in physical activity.”

“They are constructing a two-bay washroom/change room with an attached covered picnic shelter at the Crystal Lake beach. The beach is open at no charge and enjoyed by the surrounding communities. The lake holds swimming lessons for 4 weeks in the summer, the washroom/changeroom will be a great facility for these families.”

Implementing a nutrition program in schools is vital as it promotes healthy eating habits, enhances students’ learning capabilities, and supports their overall physical and mental development.

“This is a community-based volunteer theatre, that assists students in theatre presentation and provides lighting & sound at the Wadena Community Legion Hall.”

“We provide quality and inclusive childcare to the families of Canora and the surrounding area. We focus on holistic early learning and strive to create an environment that leans heavily towards children learning through play.”

“We provide healthy breakfast options for all students so that it gives them all an equal opportunity to begin their day in a healthy way. A healthy start to a child’s day allows them to achieve better learning, awareness and an appreciation for their community because of the support that they receive. The SCS Breakfast Program also supports locally as the groceries are purchased locally.”

“The goal is to repurpose the old tennis courts in Preeceville into a pickleball court as this is a growing activity in the surrounding areas. Once the court is complete, the goal is to have the possibility of hosting tournaments.”

“The Preeceville School Breakfast Café Program feeds many children every morning, whether they miss breakfast at home, have long bus rides, and need an extra breakfast or students that just need a little snack!”

“The SPE Family Resource Centre provides programs and services to support families and children in the Sturgis, Preeceville, and Endeavour area and has done so since 1996. All programs are free and focus on literacy and nutrition and are dependent on grants and donations.”
