The team is knee-deep in 2023 granting and we thought, what better time to throw it back to 2022 and spotlight dozens of our community endowment grantees. We are feeling positively giddy as we get set to share them with you!
You’ll have to wait a few weeks until they roll-out but we promise it will be worth it. In the meantime, here’s a wee teaser to whet your curiosity and give you a sense of what you will see later this month.
A first-time grantee in 2022, we are thrilled to showcase the Edward Milne Community School Society, recipient of an $8,588 grant from the Island Savings a division of First West Credit Union Community Endowment, housed with the First West Foundation .
“Thanks to the generous funding we have received from the First West Foundation and the Island Savings Community Endowment, we are able to make substantial improvements to 3 large high school gardens in the Westshore area in School District 62,” shared Ashley Green, Community School Programs Coordinator.
“This project will help us develop garden infrastructure, including rainwater capture and irrigation solutions, solar powered compost tea bubbles, informational signage, and perennial plants. More innovative and biologically abundant spaces will help us to attract and inspire students and educators.”
We are very proud to support your Planting Pathways work around inspiring youth to design, create and grow vegetable gardens at three local high schools, in partnership with SD #62.
