Maffeo Sutton Inclusive Playground Opens

"The partnership between the City of Nanaimo, the Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, the Nanaimo Child Development Centre and Tire Stewardship BC has resulted in Nanaimo's first inclusive playground, a milestone for us. The City is very grateful to have worked with these organizations in improving this play space for our citizens."

"Tire Stewardship BC is thrilled to be part of such an exciting project which demonstrates the commitment and enthusiastic support that BC communities like Nanaimo have for finding creative and exciting uses for recycled scrap tire materials. A perfect example of tire eco fees going full circle back into the community!"

"At the Nanaimo Child Development Centre we are very excited and extremely grateful to the City of Nanaimo and the Children’s Health Foundation for getting behind this project and moving it ahead. The benefits of this development will impact people of all ages and add to the richness of the fabric of social life in Nanaimo. We want to express our appreciation and gratitude to everyone who was and is part of this initiative to create accessibility, celebrate inclusion and build our community."

"We are honoured to be part of this project at Maffeo Sutton Park. Our contribution of $100,000 was made possible by the generosity of a donor whose wish was to ensure kids with all abilities have access to play in an inclusive space. We know this playground is such a staple in the City of Nanaimo and are excited to see it come to fruition thanks to our wonderful community partners"
