A Community-Based Not-for-Profit Cooperative In 2011, Centre Wakefield La Pêche cooperative officially opened the doors of its new building to the public. It represented the culmination of over 10 years of dedication by a small group of volunteers. The tenacity and commitment of these individuals along with other community groups established the CWLP Cooperative. Financial support by federal, provincial, and local governments, and generous donations from local businesses and individuals, resulted in the building which continues to offer services to the local community. In May 2022, we, the CWLP cooperative celebrated our 10th anniversary. To date, we have offered over hundreds of performances and provided a wide range of bilingual programs, workshops and youth camps to hundreds of people. Time to celebrate our many successes and to breathe a sigh of relief after the COVID pandemic. Check out highlights from the past 10 years in our virtual hall. Today, the CWLP building is a local hub for arts, culture, and recreation. for residents across the Municipality of La Pêche and region. |
