Municipal decentralization policy
The Municipal Integration Centers project includes spaces for neighborhood integration and social inclusion and aims to bring the Municipality’s services closer to the most populated neighborhoods. Thus, in recent years the Barrio Nuevo CIM was built on El Cauquén and Rosario de Santa Fé streets and the Stefenelli CIM on Leopoldo Lugones street between Leonardo Da Vinci and Guido Spano.
These three venues have a varied agenda of activities and municipal services that, together with the community centers, sports centers, beaches and other municipal offices located in 20 neighborhoods of the city, offer an enormous range of workshops for various age groups. More than 460 courses and training, with proposals for culture, sports and trades to promote the integral development of people, laying the foundations for a better job prospects and life project for the residents of Roca.
Federal Tire CAD History
The Day Care Center –CAD- of Tiro Federal functioned between the ’70s and ’90s as a space for social support. According to the records, it was founded in 1977 with the signing of an agreement between the National University of Comahue, the municipality of General Roca and the Government of the province of Río Negro.
Through a Foundation chaired by Eduardo Diniello and with the participation of Natalio Kisnerman, María Inés García, Dinora Faith, Gloria Malvino, among many others, the CAD was put into operation. Leather, ceramics, folklore, and physical activity workshops were held, and school and professional assistance was provided through a team of teachers, psychologists, educational psychologists, and social workers. Neighbors who grew up in the area treasure beautiful memories and anecdotes from those times. Then, at the beginning of the ’90s, the lack of resources to cover salaries and maintenance of the building caused the closure of the project.
Today, within the framework of the decentralization policy carried out by the Municipality of Roca, this space comes back to life to promote community development and continue generating many more smiles.
