A big Canada Day announcement in Rothesay…….The Federal and provincial governments are contributing 450 thousand dollars with the town of Rothesay chipping in another 100 thousand to revamp the playhground at Rothesay Elementary School.
Organiser Amanda Fowlie of the Community Park Committee tells CHSJ News the playground is in pretty rough shape and a danger to kids who fall. Fowlie says what you will see is a natural playground setting, which according to the research, results in less bullying and more imaginative play.
She’s hoping it will be ready by the fall. The committee started this endeavour back in 2010 and raised 63 thousand dollars on its own.
