🎄 About the Christmas Dinners

Our annual Christmas Dinners are proudly cost-shared by Fishing Lake Community Development and Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation. While Community Development offers planning support, these events are led locally by our Urban Representatives, who work hard to bring everything together for each region.

🐣 Shout-Out to Karen – Saskatoon Hampers

A special thank you to Karen, our Saskatoon rep, who went above and beyond by applying for a grant (on her own time!) to provide Easter and Christmas hampers for members in Saskatoon. While this wasn’t part of her official duties, her dedication made a real difference!

💡 Want to Apply for a Grant?

If you’re a community member interested in applying for a grant to support hampers or events in your city, you are more than welcome and encouraged to do so!

📬 Stay Connected

For event updates, or CD community support, please reach out to your Urban Representative — they’re here to help you stay connected and supported throughout the year.

We can’t wait to see you at the upcoming events!
