Mills Community Support received donation from Christian Labour Association of Canada

Mills Community Support received a $2,500 donation from the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) as part of the union‘s Building Communities Together program.

The donation will go toward rehabilitation of the Augusta Street Park in Mississippi Mills, Ontario, including the addition of a fitness track, a paved accessible pathway and footbridge, and lighting. The cause was nominated by Shaun Cardinal, who is a member of CLAC employed by Good Mechanical Contractors.

“This site has been a hangout for kids since its last facelift in the 70s,” says Shaun. “We held a great concert to raise Time, Talent, and Treasure at the It‘s a Walk in the Park‘ concert. A small BMX pump track was created, and the swings and the Rocket were painted by volunteers. A community garden will follow.”
