We will be putting on a family dance to raise funds and awareness for our playground! More details to come, but here's what we know so far...
Who:Thorncliffe residents and basically anyone who wants to come! What: A family dinner and dance When: February 10, 2018, 6-10pm Where: Thorncliffe Greenview Community Centre- Main Gym Why: To raise money and awareness! Want to help?? We need a few things!! - Donations of cool things to raffle off - A kids DJ to play music and maybe lead a few basic games (dance-off, etc) - Volunteers for set up and tear down You can contact us using the form on this website, or email at: [email protected] We have partnered up with Variety Alberta who are helping immensely to bring our community one of the best, most inclusive, most accessible playgrounds in the north end of Calgary. We have raised $160,000 so far and have another $300,00 in pending grants. The city of Calgary will be investing on this project too, which includes the construction of a berm, pathways through the green space, and room for a sensory garden. Please watch the video below for one of the reasons we feel so passionate about this project. The scenes in this video... that will be US! Right here in Thorncliffe! The Thorncliffe-Greenview Playground Replacement Committee has been hard at work and making progress with our plans. Our vision is to build a playground that will be completely accessible, inclusive and unique. We would love your feedback, thoughts, and suggestions. Take a moment to look at one of our conceptual drawings and tell us what you think! Features in this plan will create a play space for children of all abilities and engage the senses during play. Here are just a few. Can you find them in the conceptual drawing?
Project completion date: September 2018 |
