WE DID IT!!!! WE'VE BEEN AWARDED!!!

We are so happy to announce that we have won the Let Them Be Kids Helping Hands Award to help us build a new play park.  The Helping Hands Award is only given to a select few and WE ARE ONE OF THEM.  So join in, get excited, and keep coming back for more information in the weeks ahead....

The Project

Fellowship of Alder Flats School Committee was formed to help bring the community a new play park.   We learned about the Let Them Be Kids Helping Hands Award and applied with our fingers crossed.  WE WON...  We plan to work with Helping Hands (who have done this kind of project numerous times before) and rally volunteers throughout our community to build a play park.  Throughout the following months we will be asking for your help in a variety of ways and we look forward to getting our community working together.


With the funds we generate, we will be able to enhance our children's lives with accessible playground equipment, create a social hub for families in and around the Alder Flats area, and bring back community pride with active participation from residents in rebuilding the play park.


Thank-you's are necessary to the following people and groups that made the first steps of this project possible: Alder Flats AG Society, the Zone 4 Recreation Board, Alder Flats School Parent Council, Mr. Sean Madill, who has went above and beyond to make this a reality, and to all the community residents who are as excited about this venture as we are!
