Aviva Community Fund: Beautiful Space, Beautiful Place!

For the last two years the Aviva Insurance company has held a competition to fund various community improvement projects across Canada.  Individuals and organizations may submit their idea for a project that will have a positive impact in their local community.

This year, the Ogden Jr. Public School has entered the competition with a proposal for a new playground.  Presently, the shcool's playspace is essentially an empty paved lot as you can see in the photo below.  The upgraded playground would include new equipment like slides and climbers as well as outdoor seating, permanent chess tables, an outdoor badminton court, and even a small vegetable garden.  The playground would be a wonderful addition to our neighbourhood so we're happy to help spread the word about this competition.  The school is located at 33 Pheobe Street, less than ten blocks south of the library just off Huron.

The proposal to transform this empty lot into a vibrant playspace is called Beautiful Space, Beautiful Place!

The competition has already entered the second round, which will end on November 5 with the final round closing on December 15.
