Cranbrook Community Centre Committee Secures $27,000 Grant from The Commonwell's L.E.A.F. Program

[Cranbrook, ON] – Cranbrook Community Centre Committee is thrilled to announce a $27,000 grant from The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group’s Learning Engagement & Accelerator Fund (L.E.A.F.) for its “Community Centre Revival” Project. This grant enables the committee to make necessary accessibility upgrades, preparing the historic community meeting place for many more years of community learning and engagement.

“You can feel the history as you walk into the Cranbrook Community Centre,” says Rhonda Fischer, Committee Member. “Thanks to The Commonwell’s L.E.A.F. Grant, we can ensure that our growing community has access to a well maintained and established community space.”

Administered by The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group, the L.E.A.F. program invested $350,000 in grants this year, scaling from previous years. Tim Shauf, President of The Commonwell, emphasizes the program's impact, stating, "We received over $2.7 million in funding requests this year, highlighting its crucial role in supporting communities." Shauf adds, "We believe in fostering strength and resilience within the communities we serve, and this year's projects are positioned to make a lasting positive impact."

L.E.A.F.'s mission is simple: cultivate community resilience and capacity through program development and facility/resource upgrades in places where residents learn, play, engage, and gather.
