The Spruce Up Your Story initiative isn’t about bringing a brand-new rec centre or library to life – rather, it will honour and protect the spaces that are well-worn and well-loved – the places where stories are already being made.
Spruce Up Your Story project entires will be evaluated based on the following:

• Supports a sense of belonging among community members or groups of community members
• Makes an existing space more sustainable against future wear and tear
• Enhances accessibility for various groups within your community
• Supports essential community needs

We’ll fund up to $25,000 in cash for select, well-loved community spaces across Manitoba and Saskatchewan, with $150,000 in total to award. Whether it’s a roof fix on a youth centre, a fresh coat of paint on a park fence, or new seating in an ice rink, Red River Mutual will restore select community spaces where people connect, laugh, learn, and share.
With no limit to the number of communities that can win, we’re committed to ensuring the winning spaces continue to serve their communities for years to come.
