A big moment at LakeCity Works last week as Attorney General and Justice Minister Scott Armstrong, Minister responsible for the Office of Equity and Anti‑Racism, announced new funding through the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community Impact Grant program at our wood workshop!
Tim, our Director of Development & Partnerships, Sunny, our Employment Navigator, and a previous participant, also shared the impact of LakeCity and our Qu**rs Career program, which received funding through this grant.
We’re proud to be part of this milestone for equity and community empowerment!

Clear finish is a fan favourite in Lakecity! 🔥
It brings out the natural texture of the wood like nothing else. 🪵 Natural, simple, timeless; just the way we like it!
We’ve done so many pieces in this finish, and you can see a few of them in this post.

Nice to see our famous benches parked nicely for folks to have a break, a chat with friends, or meet some new friends!

LakeCity participants have been busy the last two days joyfully rock painting. 🎨🪨 What started as a little Coffee Circle activity quickly turned into an Art Club passion.
Sometimes the simplest projects bring the biggest smiles! 😊
