You can gain support for your library's community hub through the Ministry of Infrastructure's new Community Hubs Facilitation Program. The Facilitation Program supports community capacity building by providing facilitation services to enable the development and operation of sustainable and viable community hubs. The program is intended to augment supports available on the Community Hubs Resource Network - CommunityHubsOntario.ca - by providing funding to successful applicants to hire a facilitator who will assist with advancing their community hub-related projects.
