On the agenda
As the city filed it
This Motion seeks to contribute $300,000 of Section 37 funds, to assist the Fairbank Public School with the construction of a new playground and schoolyard. The Fairbank Public School playground and schoolyard are well used by the school and the community at large. This funding will assist with a project that will improve and revitalize the playgrounds and other outdoor areas at the school. This will ensure that the school community and the public have access to outdoor facilities that are safe and accessible, while providing increased opportunities for outdoor learning and physical activity at the school.
