Community spaces are what bring people together. In trying and often dividing times, they can be a source of joy and connection. However, the level of capital funding required to bring these long term projects to life can be difficult to fundraise for.
Gildan believes that a more sustainable future starts with education by encouraging students to take ownership over the environmental issues in their own communities.
