Funds are beginning to come in for the Dalhousie Playground Renewal Initiative.

Parent advisory council president Jaime Webster says the initiative was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Community Places Program. So far the council has $77,000 confirmed and are waiting to hear back on more grants.

The renewal initiative will replace the decaying, 25-year-old play structure at the back of the school. The estimated cost for the project is over $209,000.
