The Regina Early Learning Centre is a family and child development centre working with families to foster the healthy development of children, from prenatal to five years of age.

Foundations Learning & Skills Saskatchewan is a transformational non-profit organization that changes lives throughout our province by providing free literacy, learning, and skills development programs for adults, families, and children. Our Vision: All Saskatchewan communities and individuals have equitable access to quality learning opportunities so everyone can fully participate and thrive. Our Mission: We provide foundational literacy, learning, and skills development for adults, children, and families through the work of staff, trained volunteers, and community partners. We are relentless in bringing our vision and mission to life because: Everyone has the right to learn, regardless of age. Strong literacy skills are not attained by chance. Communities have a right to responsive and effective literacy programs. Lifelong learning habits contribute to strong and resilient communities. Our own cultural perspectives are limited and therefore we will not make assumptions about the experiences and cultural expressions of others.

Our Vision: All Saskatchewan communities and individuals have equitable access to quality learning opportunities so everyone can fully participate and thrive. Our Mission: Foundations Learning provides foundational literacy, learning, and skills development for adults, children, and families through the work of staff, trained volunteers, and community partners. Literacy affects opportunities. Strong literacy skills provide people with tools that empower them to: have more confidence, more fully participate in the community, build better lives for themselves and their families, improve health outcomes, and attain better jobs and enhanced educational opportunities.

Habitat for Humanity Canada brings communities together to help families build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership. With the help of volunteers and Habitat homeowners, local Habitats in every province and territory help build and rehabilitate safe, decent and affordable homes, including single-family and multi-unit houses. Habitat does not give away free homes — the families who partner with us pay an interest-free mortgage geared to their income and volunteer 500 hours with Habitat. As Habitat homeowners pay off their mortgage, the funds are invested into a revolving fund, which is used by their local Habitat to build more homes for low-income families in the community. Our model of affordable homeownership bridges a gap for low-income working families by providing them with the opportunity to purchase their own Habitat home and build a better life. Why affordable homeownership? We know that affordable homeownership plays an absolutely critical role in helping families create a new foundation for a stronger future, one that’s filled with possibilities and progress. Affordable homeownership allows families to foster the skills and confidence they need to invest in themselves and their communities, which has a life-changing impact on their lives. But the benefits of a Habitat home reach far beyond the four walls volunteers and families raise together. Because Habitat families have reduced reliance on social housing and food banks, better education and employment outcomes, and improved health, every Habitat home built helps create $175,000 worth of benefits for the local community.  

To build love relies on bringing the community together in the spirit of collaboration to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. This year we are building love for the Kennedy family by transforming their home with a major renovation that will improve the ease of mobility for eight year-old Vienna and empower her independence. Build Love is inspired by the goal to improve lives and strengthen community through meaningful acts of empathy, compassion, and collaboration.
