Circle Project Council and Staff would like to thank everyone who attended our 2020 Annual General Meeting on June 26. Although it was disappointing that we could not meet face to face, it was wonderful to be able to connect through Zoom as we shared the exciting journey that our organization has been on over the last year! As we embark on the exciting year ahead, we would like to invite everyone to keep their eye on our Facebook and website to follow the news about the development of the Circle Project Community and Cultural Hub coming soon to North Central Regina! You can also go to our website to read our Annual Report 2020.

Thank you Unifor Local 1-S for being one of the first to support our vision of reconciliation through action by supporting the development of the Circle Project Community and Cultural Hub coming soon to North Central Regina. Your gift is welcome and appreciated as we work toward “bridging the gaps” in our community.

Circle Project Council and Staff would like to thank Scotiabank and United Way Regina for their generous donation of a forehead thermometer which will be used to help ensure the continued good health of our program participants.

Circle Project Council and Staff would like to thank Saskatchewan Mutual Insurance and United Way Regina for their generous donation of a box of assorted cleaning supplies and essential personal protective equipment which will be used to help ensure the continued good health of our program participants.

Circle Project Council and Staff would like to thank Dean Renwick Design Studio for the generous donation of 100 cloth masks which were distributed to our community Elders along with personal care items, cleaning supplies and little treats. Because of this donation, they will be that much safer when they must venture out into the community.

Our Elders are vital to our communities. In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is even more important that we do our part to reach out. Circle Project had the pleasure of contacting each Elder by phone to say hello and check on their well-being. We then delivered a package containing personal care items, cleaning supplies and some little treats. This program was made possible by United Way Regina’s Covid-19 Seniors Response Fund funded by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program. Thank you United Way on behalf of Circle Project Council, Staff and community Elders.

Circle Project would like to thank The Lorne & Evelyn Johnson Foundation for their grant towards the creation of Circle Project’s Community and Cultural Hub. Through your support we will create a safe space where members of the community can access programs and services, as well as gain opportunities to connect with their Indigenous culture. Thank you!

Circle Project Council and Staff would like to thank Conexus Credit Union for allowing us the opportunity to share the story of Circle Project and the impact that Conexus has made with the generous donation of a building to help us build a permanent home in the heart of North Central Regina. With this gift we will continue to make a positive impact on the lives of families in the community. We would also like to express our greatest appreciation for naming Circle Project as the Conexus AGM Charity of Choice.

Happy Early Childhood Educators Month! Circle Project’s Staff and Board of Directors would like to extend its sincerest appreciation to the staff at the Circle Project Infant & Toddler Centre and the Children’s Centre for your amazing work and dedication in providing the highest standard of early childhood education to our future leaders. Keep up the good work!

Circle Project’s Council, Staff and children would like to thank Saskatchewan Knights of Columbus Charitable Foundation for their donation to ensure services continue in the Cultural Connections for Kids (CCK) program. Through this donation we will be able to provide the children at both of our Childcare Centres with important opportunities to connect with their culture in a supportive and immersive environment.
