Calgary’s Haultain Memorial School is set to receive a much-needed upgrade to its playground, thanks to a generous donation from a local organization.
The school, located in the community of Ramsay, has been in need of a new playground for quite some time. The current playground equipment is outdated and no longer meets safety standards, leaving students with limited options for outdoor play.
However, that is all about to change thanks to the Calgary Playground Builders, a non-profit organization dedicated to building and upgrading playgrounds in the city. The organization has pledged to donate $100,000 towards the construction of a new playground at Haultain Memorial School.
The new playground will feature modern and inclusive equipment, providing students with a safe and engaging space to play and socialize. It will also include accessible features, ensuring that all students, regardless of ability, can enjoy the playground.
Principal of Haultain Memorial School, Sarah Johnson, expressed her gratitude for the donation, stating that the new playground will greatly benefit the students and the community as a whole.
The Calgary Playground Builders have a history of giving back to the community, having built over 50 playgrounds in the city since their inception in 2017. Their mission is to create inclusive and accessible play spaces for children, promoting physical activity and social interaction.
Construction on the new playground at Haultain Memorial School is set to begin in the coming months, with an expected completion date of fall 2021. The school and the community are eagerly anticipating the new addition, which will undoubtedly enhance the overall learning experience for students.
This generous donation serves as a reminder of the importance of community involvement and support in creating a safe and inclusive environment for children to learn and play. The Calgary Playground Builders’ contribution to Haultain Memorial School will have a lasting impact on the students and the community for years to come.
