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.

TRANSFORMATION OF A PLAYGROUND - DAY 5

Today was a challenging day working in the rain, but despite it, we were able to accomplish a lot. All of the pieces that had to be welded are now done & the cement was poured for the swing, as well a few other pieces of equipment. Volunteers will have an assortment of tasks to complete when they come on Saturday, including building a retaining wall, putting together several climbing structures, activity boards, railings & slides.

Hats off to the volunteers that we had today & glad they were able to stay the day, despite the inclement weather!

See you on Saturday!

PS: If you are unable to attend Build Day, go to www.ltbk.ca in the morning & a live broadcast will begin between 8am & 9am.

TRANSORMATION OF A PLAYGROUND - DAY 4

What a day!

After arriving at the playground at 8 am, we started laying out the groundwork for the vertical posts, which the play equipment & platforms mount on. Quite a bit was accomplished & a lot was prepared for the volunteers, who will be arriving on Saturday.

Thanks to all the volunteers that were able to make it today!
