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.

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!

It is hard to believe, but in exactly one week, the playground at DES will be undergoing a huge transformation! Also, the outdoor classroom will be built, as well as some gardening around the school.

The walking track portion of our project has been postponed for now, due to the fact that given the enormity of the project, it would be best if we focused on the most important part of the project, which is the playground for the kids. Also, we hope to partner with another organization, so that more funding can be used to develop it into something the whole comunity can use. The lack of availability of a suitable base material for the track was also one of the main reasons for postponing the field as well.

If you have not yet JOINED THE EFFORT, please do by selecting the button on the right. There will be childcare provided from 9am to 3pm & Tim Hortons will be providing coffee & Timbits, as well as some local businesses providing meals for the volunteers.

See you there!!
