Making our communities brighter, one brushstroke at a time
June 12, 2024

At Dawson Co-op, we believe that a vibrant community is a thriving community. That's why we're thrilled to continue being a part of Communities in Full Colour, our commitment to bringing color and life to community spaces in need by donating paint to various local projects.

Whether it's revitalizing a community center, beautifying a park, or giving a fresh coat to a school's playground, Communities in Full Colour aims to make a positive impact where it matters most. We know that a splash of paint can do wonders—not just for walls, but for spirits too. When spaces are inviting and well-maintained, they become hubs of activity and joy for everyone.

How It Works:

1. Nominate a Project: We're inviting community members to nominate projects that could benefit from a fresh coat of paint. It could be a local charity, a public space, or any community project in need of a vibrant touch.

2. Selection Process: Our team will review all nominations and select the projects that will receive our paint donations. We'll be looking for initiatives that have a strong community impact and the potential to bring people together.

3. Painting Day: Once selected, we'll coordinate with the chosen projects to organize a Painting Day. We'll provide the paint and even bring some volunteers if we can, to transform these spaces into areas that the entire community can enjoy.

We understand that every brushstroke makes a difference. By supporting local projects with high-quality paint, we're not just coloring walls—we're fostering community pride, encouraging local engagement, and creating beautiful, welcoming spaces for everyone.

Get Involved!
