I am very excited that we happen to be building our new accessible and inclusive playground during the year of Canada 150. It has opened doors to more grant options for funding the project, and because our platform of inclusivity, this playground will be a great addition to our Canada 150 celebrations! Canada 150 is all about fostering a greater sense of belonging, inclusion and reconciliation in communities.
“We know that the 150th anniversary of Confederation is more than just a birthday party. It's a moment to reflect, renew and regenerate. To reach across divides and make new connections. To build a national narrative that weaves together thousands of local stories.” - Canada 150 Alliance, The Power of Together This is our chance to dream big about our communities, and bring out the best that Canada (and our local communities) have to offer, now and for future generations! We’ve registered our playground project with the 150 Alliance (see link below) to show our commitment to being a part of Canada 150 celebrations and our common goals of inclusivity and cultivating for our future generations! Please hop over to #drumcan150 and like their page to get involved in our amazing community’s ongoing activities! This is the year to get out, meet your neighbors, volunteer, get involved, and get excited about Drumheller! https://150alliance.ca/projects/project_listings/greentree_school_accessible_playground https://www.facebook.com/DrumCan150/

At Greentree School we are Planting the Seeds for Life! The Parent Council members at Greentree Elementary School have taken on the task of planning a new accessible and inclusive playground in addition to the current playground. An ever-growing student population has made a playground addition a necessity, but our primary objective is to increase the accessibility of Greentree Elementary School’s playground to meet the needs of children with mobility challenges while also creating a vibrant and inviting place for all children and families to play and be active. It isn’t just about children with disabilities either. Parents, grandparents, or caregivers with disabilities can now play with their child/grandchild! The playground becomes a truly multi-generational gathering space for community enjoyment, socialization, healthy bodies, and imaginative fun! Stay tuned for updates and details on this exciting playground project! Contact us to get involved! What will this playground include?
