The 2017 capital projects plan for enVision Community Living in Steinbach has just been announced. 

Fundraising Promotion Coordinator Jo-Anne Dalton, says they have a number of renovation, landscaping, and refurbishments that are planned to over 20 of their Southeast locations.

Dalton says they hope to raise nearly $100,000 to cover those projects this year. "We have some concrete, siding, fences, and some of those projects include things like the grading of sidewalks for accessibility. Some are basic home repairs like painting, new doors, and windows, things like that."

For their first fundraising event of the year, a Cakes and Comedy night was held Friday, where just over $13,000 was raised. Dalton says they invited clean Canadian comedian Leland Klassen out to entertain the audience at the Pat Porter Active Living Centre, where they had a full house.

She says because of the generous support of their sponsors, 100% of the money raised will go towards their capital projects.
