The Community Builders Alliance is a non profit group of individuals whose goal is to make the Moosomin region a better place to live, play, work and invest by focusing on the 4 pillars of a strong community.
Those pillars being Healthcare, Education, Arts & Recreation, and Business.
We believe that if we want to retain and attract people to the region, then we have to ensure we offer the things that are important to them and their family, especially the children. People have a lot of choice where they work from these days. Often, they will pick the community that offers the activities and education and healthcare that is most important to their children. When the parents choose a particular community to live, often the Grandparents will also choose that community. Attracting and retaining people in the region is the first step in economic development. Without people there cannot be economic development.
The CBA is collaborating with local municipal governments to identify the top priorities in the region under the four pillars through strategic planning sessions involving representatives from all 3 parties.
The top four priorities in a lengthy list compiled by all 3 organizations were an upgraded airport with a 5000 foot paved runway, a CT machine in the hospital, a new Multi plex and a new residential subdivision.
As part of the collaboration with the Town of Moosomin and the RM of Moosomin, the 3 groups have agreed to share in the funding of a fulltime economic development officer as well as a government strategist with each organization contributing one third of the budget for those services. Having that private sector funding working with the public funding really shows the commitment by the three organizations to work together to build a better community.
The CBA is a Non Profit Corporation, privately funded by a group of individuals who share a common interest in strengthening our Community based on the principle of the Four Pillars of a strong community.
The Four Pillars include the following:
