With Project Porchlight Saskatchewan only weeks away, we here at the PP Blog Department are looking to highlight some of the forward-thinking initiatives already making waves in the Roughrider Province. One exceptional example is the Craik Sustainable Living Project.
In 2001, the Town of Craik and the Rural Municipality of Craik No. 222, in southcentral Saskatchewan, Canada, began working in partnership to develop a long-term plan for a sustainable community-based project. This partnership emerged out of the shared concern of the need for local and tangible initiatives addressing climate change and the socio-economic revitalization of this rural community. From this partnership, the Craik Sustainable Living Project (CSLP) was formed.
The Craik Sustainable Living Project aims to advance the local use of more ecologically sound technologies and ways of living. The community of Craik is part of the bioregion known as the Midlakes Region, which is defined by Last Mountain Lake to the east and Lake Diefenbaker to the west, and extends from the town of Hanley to the north to Chamberlain to the south. The CSLP also strives to serve as a model inspiring and enabling positive change in other communities in western Canada and elsewhere.
