Students attending Fraser Lake’s Mouse Mountain Elementary School are getting a new playground.
This year, the provincial government is providing funding for 26 of these structures each receiving 195-grand each including School District 91.
“Playgrounds enhance our kids’ well-being,” said Rachna Singh, Minister of Education and Child Care. “These are spaces where children can truly be themselves, where they express their joy, and learn valuable social skills. Our government is thrilled to ensure communities throughout the province gain better access to modern playgrounds for everyone’s benefit.”
The playgrounds are designed to be accessible for children of all abilities.
Since 2018, the province has allocated 40-million dollars towards new playgrounds at 282 schools.
