The Community Services Recovery Fund (CSRF) is a one-time investment of $400 million that will help charities and non-profits acquire the tools they need to adapt and modernize so they can better support pandemic recovery in communities across Canada.
“Our charities and non-profits are at the forefront of addressing our community’s needs, but many of them are struggling to recover from the pandemic and adapt to changing needs of the Squamish community. With increasing demands for services and the rising cost of living, this funding is needed now more than ever,” said Suzie Soman, Board Chair, SCF.
