Default CP Jihad - Accessible playground tables

https://www.fieldlaw.com/idea/inclus...-picnic-tables

My School Enhancement Society is applying for a $7,000 grant to include some accessible picnic tables in our playground rebuild next summer. Please vote often so we get that money!

I don't believe there is a live vote counter unfortunately so you're just going to have to vote hard & hope!

No thanks, teachers have had it too good for too long in this province. Pass.

Any picnic table is accessible if you're brave enough!

Also, these kids need to learn that life isn't all sunshine and rainbows! They need to be able to overcome adversity!

Then do it. Give back to your society. Lord knows you have the free time since you're never doing anything on here considering how often it breaks.

The site works fine, it's just Canucks/Oilers/Leafs fans get put through the old servers.

Welcome to the world of accessibility. Basically add a zero to the normal item cost.

Wheelchair stroller for our 3 year old daughter with CP, that'll be $5500 please.

Thought about donating a new lazy boy chair for the NICU as it was always a fight for them thinking it was just. cheap non electric chair...

Nope, "medical grade" 5k +
