We are proud to have been named a CentralSource (formerly SUMAdvantage) Partner, through the Municipalities of Saskatchewan (formerly Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association, or SUMA). Having helped build playgrounds across the province, including working with most municipalities, we are excited to help support the SUMA mission to help hometowns across the province create “thriving, sustainable communities” by bringing fun, creative new places for everyone to play in throughout Saskatchewan.

The CentralSource Partner program gives municipalities across the province direct access to an extensively vetted, carefully cultivated group of partners, alleviating many of the time and budget challenges associated with project tendering.  This means more time for planning, designing and creating the projects that help build such great hometown communities.

We are looking forward to working with Municipalities of Saskatchewan’s municipal members as a CentralSource Partner.
