As part of our club's continued work in supporting our community’s well-being and resilience, the Rotary Club of Saskatoon is honored to have allocated $40,000 from our centennial anniversary funds to the development of the Space on H (formally called the "Victoria Park Recreation Facility"). This initiative supports the revitalization of a key urban space into an energy-efficient hub for food security, cultural programming, recreational activities, the askîy urban agriculture internship program, and more!
