-All the volunteers who helped to get the surface prepped
-Arbil Backhoe/Arnold Groves for moving the sand pile

This multi-year project is now complete and we could not have done it without the support of our community and volunteers!

Playground Surfacing set to start in June

Beginning Sunday June 4th we ask that everyone stays clear of the playground so we can prep the surface for the rubber paving.

We are looking for anyone willing to donate some time to helping prepare the surface on Sunday June 4-Tuesday June 6.

We are also still looking for a couple people willing to help with the paid work from June 7-9th.

ParticipACTION Grant Awarded to the ABC Centre

We are excited to announce that we were selected for a grant for the ParticipACTION Community Challenge coming June 1-30! We’re doing our part to level the playing field by empowering individuals and strengthening communities through the power of sport and physical activity.

The Community Challenge is a national physical activity initiative that encourages everyone to get active together throughout June, with Canada’s most active community winning the top prize of $100,000 to go towards local physical activity and sport initiatives. 

Anyone can participate in the ParticipACTION Community Challenge by downloading and tracking their movement on the free ParticipACTION app throughout June, or by joining local Community Challenge activities. More details to come!

This project has been made possible in part by the Government of Canada.
