Oak Bluff Community School receives $25K grant
Saskatoon’s Sandbox Mutual Insurance has announced the five recipients of this year’s Communities At Play grants, worth $25,000 each towards a new playstructure, including Oak Bluff Community School.
“The new playground will provide a safe, modern, and accessible play area for over 200 students from Kindergarten to Grade 8 and benefit the broader Oak Bluff community,” Janelle Hammond, a representative of the Oak Bluff Community School playground project, said in a statement.
Oak Bluff’s project will replace the school’s 30-year-old playground, which is no longer safe or inclusive for students or the wider community. According to a release, the new playground will “introduce accessible surfacing and inclusive play elements, ensuring children of all abilities can play together and strengthen connection in a growing community.”
