Community Programs
Community is at the heart of what we do. Here at Prospera we make an effort to recognize organizations, community-based events and volunteers making a difference in our neighbourhoods. We have a number of community partners and programs that we support throughout the year.
We are passionate about supporting education and have a number of educational awards in place.
As well, if you are interested in community sponsorship for your upcoming event you can find out more here.
