If we had a million dollars …

The North Central Community Association has been an integral part of Regina’s History. For over 30 years, the organization has been a leader in community development. Many of our milestones have been due to the generosity of the general public, who have donated time and resources to help those in the inner city. Below is our wish list of things we would love to have in order to make our jobs easier in delivering the programs our residents need.
