Our Story
Ecole St. Gerard had a small playground accessed by the younger grades, but very limited equipment available for the older children. The need for a new playground has been discussed for some time, but in the spring of 2017 the Friends of Ecole St Gerard Society decided it was time to make our wishes a reality
|
In the spring of 2017 a group of interested parents, brought together by the Friends of Ecole St. Gerard Society, started along the path towards building a new playground for the school.
In the fall of 2017 the Ecole St. Gerard Playground Fundraising Society was formed, and incorporated in February 2018. In 2020 we acheived charity registration with the Canada Revenue Agency. |
In the fall of 2020 we complete construction of the new playground at the Ecole St. Gerard, opening the playground to a lot of very excited kids! In the spring of 2021 we installed the bricks from our pave-the-path fundraiser. In the spring of 2022 we saw the final installation pieces - our buddy bench generously sponsored by CDN controls, and our sponsors sign.
