Community Grants Program helps restore community courtyard in WA

After receiving a grant through the 2022 Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants Program, the Corrigin Centenary Courtyard has been revitalized thanks to the hard work of 1922 & You, and is now a hub of activity for young and old, locals and tourists.

1922 & You chairperson, Juanita MacGregor thanked the funding from Nutrien and FRRR. 

“The space, which was previously an empty and deserted block, is now a beautiful community space for everyone to enjoy."

Over 300 people enjoyed the new and improved space at the opening event of the courtyard, the Big Brick Bash. Community members came together to celebrate the new space and to design a paver for a path around the garden in the courtyard. The courtyard also includes a community garden, nature play area, yarning circle and stage.
