School gets $200,000 from province for playground in spite of potential contest winnings

St. Peter School in Penbrooke Meadows is one of four finalists in the Kraft Heinz Project Play Contest, vying for up to $250,000 in a vote-in contest to fund recreational uses.

But after hearing about their plight, Education Minister David Eggen confirmed late Thursday he will fund the playground at $200,000 whether the school wins the contest or not.

But after liaising with the MLA for the southeast Calgary area and learning about the school’s dire need, Eggen has confirmed the funding.

“Our government understands how important playgrounds are to schools and to local communities that surround them,” he said.

“That’s why I was pleased to approve $200,000 to build a new playground at St. Peter School in Calgary. I will be assessing this project to determine whether to expand to other schools in next year’s budget.”

Voted a bunch of times tonight. Too many times to count. I used to go to James Short just across the field.
