国产传媒 Chair Kristin Schnider:
鈥淲e鈥檙e grateful to the provincial government for investing in accessible playgrounds that provide all children with inclusive and welcoming places to play. Enjoying the playground at Morley Elementary is a key part of the school day for students, where they further develop motor skills, nurture friendships and delight in the joys of play.鈥
Marlborough Elementary and Lochdale Community School are among 25 school communities across BC that will each receive $200,000 for new, accessible school playgrounds.
Premier David Eby:
鈥淓very child deserves the opportunity to enjoy a safe and accessible place to play. Playgrounds are outdoor classrooms that teach our children valuable life skills exploration, imagination, risk taking. This is about making life better for our children and easing the fundraising pressure on parents and schools, so they can focus on other great things for their kids.鈥
Since the Playground Equipment Program鈥檚 inception in 2018, the Burnaby School District has received funding for 11 school playgrounds, including this year鈥檚 announcement.
