The highly anticipated new playground equipment at C. Ian McLaren School in Black Diamond is installed and has excited kids clamoring and climbing.
Students have been waiting patiently for the apparatus since last year, when the school received a grant of over $43,000. Added to funds raised by the Lion's Club, the RCMP Classic Golf Tournament and donations of money and time from parents, the school came out with $92,911.18 to develop the playground.
Volunteers pulled together to install the equipment on June 3rd and 4th, completing the first half of the project. “We're really pleased with all the volunteers that came out,” says McLaren Principal Sherry Agasoster-Jones. “The kids love it and it's great to see them all on there.”
Plans for the second phase include constructing a gazebo and planting more trees around the playground area.
The project is scheduled for completion by the end of September 2011.
