On May 21, 2022, the Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of International Development and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada (PacifiCan), announced an investment of $268,655 through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) for the Pender Harbour Community School Society.
This funding will allow the Society to build a new Pender Harbour Learning Centre in Madeira Park. The project will revitalize an important community facility by repurposing the existing building and installing two new modular units, complete with washroom amenities and accessibility features. The upgraded space will facilitate vital after-school programs and youth drop-in activities, as well as community workshops, resource sharing, and referral services.
