KEITH TRIMPER MEMORIAL PLAYGROUND

KEITH TRIMPER MEMORIAL PLAYGROUND

The playground committee is pleased to announce that the playground build was a success on September 25th! 220 people took time out of their lives to pull together & build a much needed playground for the children of DES, as well as to honour a much loved youth in our community. Keith will always be remembered for his warm and caring heart. He was a faithful friend to many, always smiling and making others laugh. He was a great athlete who enjoyed a variety of sports, with soccer being his favorite. Keith touched many lives with his positive presence, and we are pleased to honor his memory through our school and community project.

We would like thank the donors below for contributing to our project & also to the carpenters who built such a beautiful outdoor classroom for the school.

WHAT A WEEK!

Wow, what a week this was for the Keith Trimper Memorial Playground!
On Monday, a cheque in the amount of $1,500 was given to the committee to put towards the cost of the playground as part of the Community Wellness Fund.

Thank you Digby & Area Community Health Board!

On Saturday, the committee held a fundraiser for the playground at DES where there was a yard sale, facepainting, BBQ, games for the kids, raffles on a print by Poppy Balser & seafood provided by Brock Longmire, and a bouncy kingdom.

Over $1,800 was raised!

Also at the fundraiser, the Digby Lions presented us with a cheque to cover the cost of a swingset with an accessible swing seat. Keith Trimper's mother & brother, Lisa & Brandon Trimper, were present, as well as the family of Dawson Drew, when head Lion Mary Anne McCormick presented playground committe chair, Sean Fredericks, with the cheque.
Thank you Digby Lions!
