What's at stake

A stronger future for Milton-Parc

Milton-Parc has a rich network of community groups, helping people and improving society.

But our dependence on grants, which are difficult to obtain and unstable, limits our ability to act. Many of our community groups are running out of money and might disappear.

As with union dues, the Lucia Kowaluk Foundation wants to help these groups by raising money from the community and allowing residents themselves to democratically decide together what projects to support.

World Environment Day

This past June 5, Lucia Kowaluk Park filled with a lively community spirit as we came together to celebrate World Environment Day with a free barbecue, an Indigenous art hive, three bands, an activist choir, speeches and an open mic!
