SUN’s initial commitment to the project in 2009 and now forgiving the loan puts it in a good position to continue the good work in the Bridge City.

Station 20 West aims to address the root causes of health problems in Saskatoon’s Westside core neighbourhoods through health education and outreach programs.

It will also ensure the non-profit grocery store “Good Food Junction Co-op” remains viable.

The centre opened its doors in fall 2012 with a vision to provide Saskatoon’s most vulnerable people with access to basic necessities of life and food security.
