GWS Playground Project

Hello from our Garth Worthington Fundraiser Society!

 

We are so pleased with all of you in your dedication, hard earned donations and participation in the last three years. On January 13, 2026 we held an in person fundraiser meeting, with a few significant attending guests. One of the main concerns over the past few years for us, as a society, is getting a playground started. 

​

Playgrounds are not only fun for the kids but it allows our children to have an outlet for specific movement and endurance they deserve at recess. During this meeting we had a couple of EPSB speakers attend, to explain and go over a plan to start our playground journey. We also had city councillor John Morgan attend, as a representative for the city side of the building process. I am pleased to announce that we got a lot accomplished during this meeting and voted on the building of our playground in a phased process. What this means is that we can start building one of the phases of the playground by this summer! Hooray! Playground designs and budget details are available to all parents at every monthly meeting. The final design/budget will be confirmed in March, 2026.

 

Our goal is to have one phase of the playground built by September 2026. So far the committee is sitting at $283,589.  This is a huge thank you to all of the volunteering, donations and outreach that has helped us reach this goal so far! We hope once we start the playground project there will be more opportunities for fun activities within the school to give back to you and your families.

Our GWFS meetings are held once a month, online. If you wish to attend a meeting, go to our website and follow the link to rsvp. We welcome all and are always looking for ideas, feedback and participation.

Thank you!
