Our Vision:
Provide Saskatoon’s core community residents, of all ages and cultures, with a thriving community centre. Our centre works to engage, educate, and empower with food production, experiential nature-based education and activity, sport and community programming year-round. We provide leadership to support local residents so they have the opportunity to experience all the positive amenities that Victoria Park offers.
Who is involved?
CHEP Good Food
Riversdale Community Association
King George Community Association
The Saskatoon Mother’s Centre
Wild Sky Adventure Learning
And The Rotary Club of Saskatoon
We received $750,000 of funding from the Co-op Community Spaces grant. This money was spent on solar panels for the roof and on a wrap around deck on the building. This increases the carbon neutrality of the building, as well as increase the foot print without increasing the carbon footprint. Further information about this can be found here: Co-op Community Spaces.
What and for whom is the building?
Placed in the heart of the Riversdale neighbourhood, the project will provide a community space with access to local physical activity opportunities. These include Riversdale Pool, the Meewasin Trail, Saskatoon Rowing Club, Riversdale Lawn Tennis Club and the Victoria Park Skate park.
Who has been involved in the construction?
The old building was demolished during the Winter of 2022. The building has been designed by architects at Kindrachuk Agrey Architecture Saskatoon and the construction, undertaken by VCM Construction, of the building was complete in March 2024. Solar panels were installed by Living Skies Solar.
