Renaissance Sackville is an organization sponsored by the Town of Sackville. Its focus is the community development of Sackville and it offers modest seed funding and limited administrative support to new community initiatives whose purpose supports the Renaissance vision: "Sackville will be a vibrant, economically and environmentally responsible, aesthetically pleasing, caring, friendly and gracious community."
The projects that Renaissance sponsors or instigates rely heavily on volunteers and the hours of hard work that they contribute every year: we would not achieve much without them!
Brief History:
Renaissance Sackville evolved from a workshop event held in 1994, with about 50 people, including townspeople, businesses, university, and representatives from the town office and the provincial economic development office. Renaissance began with the blessing of all from the beginning - goals were to work for the benefit of the community in an effort to counter the effects of important employers such as Atlantic Wholesalers and the Federal Government moving out of Sackville. The first board was comprised of 15 citizens. By-laws were drawn up and Renaissance Sackville was incorporated. The Town provided funding for support staff, office, administration and a marketing plan.
