Lakeshore South Community Association paves pathway to connection
"It unites the people from Sunnydale with people from other parts of the neighbourhood and gives easy access to the supports that are available in the area. It's forever a major pathway."
– Adam Clemens, Chair, Lakeshore South Community Association
A fence once stood between Heasley Park and Sunnydale Community Centre, limiting access to food bank distribution, youth programming, and community gathering space. With the help of WRCF's Community Grants, that fence is gone, replaced by a new accessible pathway.
