Since its launch in 2009, the CCF has helped tenants get more involved in their neighborhoods by funding community improvements, skills training, and fixing up shared spaces. 

Starting in 2025, we have made changes to make the CCF easier for tenants. The program will now focus on three areas:  

• Repairing and upgrading common areas, such as lounge kitchens and common outdoor areas.    
• Operational purchases. Items communities need in common spaces to help run community development activities. Some examples would be chairs, tables, a freezer and pots and pans.   
• Activities or workshops that help build tenant skills and address community needs.  For example, community murals, food handling, First Aid, and conflict resolution, to name a few. 

Your Community Developer can give you more information. If you don’t know who your Community Developer is, just call OCH at 613-731-1182 and follow the prompt.
