The Community Services Recovery Fund is an initiative through Employment & Social Development Canada to assist charities and non-profit organizations recover from the long-term impacts of the pandemic including volunteer recruitment and training. For example, the Nzen’man Child and Family Development Centre will be receiving over $99,000 to support growing their team of volunteers. They are a fantastic non-profit organization that provides affordable, quality childcare services to Lytton and the Nlaka’pamux Nation.
