The City of Meadow Lake is thrilled to announce an outstanding moment in the CO-OP COMMUNITY BUILDER CAMPAIGN with a momentous gift from Innovation Federal Credit Union. This transformative contribution marks a significant step forward in our collective journey towards realizing the CO-OP CENTRE, a dynamic hub for community life and recreation in Meadow Lake. $3,500,000 was raised thus far, with the help of Meadow Lake Co-op’s $500,000 previous match being met. Innovation Federal Credit union was excited to help bring Meadow Lake even closer to reaching their $6,000,000 goal.

With an extraordinary commitment of $1,000,000 through a dollar-for-dollar community match, the Field House within the CO-OP CENTRE will be officially named “InnovationPlex”. This exciting development underscores Innovation Federal Credit Union's steadfast commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents in Meadow Lake and surrounding regions.

The foundational donation from Innovation Federal Credit Union represents not only a financial investment but also a powerful catalyst for further community engagement. As part of the CO-OP COMMUNITY BUILDER CAMPAIGN, Innovation Federal Credit Union's donation will match dollar for dollar up to $1,000,000. Innovation Federal Credit Union wishes to inspire community members to join in this momentous endeavour regardless of their donation amount. "We are honored to partner with the City of Meadow Lake and our co-operative partner, Meadow Lake Co-op, in supporting this remarkable campaign," says Dan Johnson, Chief Executive Officer at Innovation Federal Credit Union.
