Bonus Episode - The Elmwood Community Hub Project

In this bonus episode, we are going to learn about a new and innovative project from Elmwood Residences that will make a real difference in Saskatoon’s disability community.

It’s called the Elmwood Community Hub, and you might remember it being discussed in our last episode that highlighted the work being done at Elmwood’s Community Homes throughout Saskatoon. 

The Community Hub, which if everything goes well will open in 2030, will sit on the grounds of the current Elmwood Manor on Arlington Avenue and will feature a variety of amenities including a performance theatre, life skills kitchen and residential units. 

I was lucky to sit down with Dani Carr, Maggie Stevenson and Jackie Smith to learn more about the project. 

Dani is the Executive Director of Elmwood Residences. Maggie is the Manager of Community Engagement for Elmwood.

Jackie is a former Elmwood board member whose brother was cared for by Elmwood for many years. 

I met Dani, Maggie, and Jackie at the Elmwood Manor and we all sat down in one of the board rooms to discuss the Community Hub.

Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy this episode! Oh, and don't forget to listen to our previous episode exploring Elmwood's Community Homes Program. 

Cheers...Eric
