Every once in a while an opportunity comes along to contribute to the larger neighbourhood – development of the playground between Monsignor William Irwin Catholic Elementary School (kindergarten, grades 1-6) and Esther Starkman Elementary and Junior High (kindergarten, grades 1-9) schools was a great opportunity. Neighbours raised funds then raised the play structures over a period of two years. Terwillegar Greens/Gardens homeowners voted during the 2010 AGM to build a low maintenance, roofed shelter for the playground. The shelter was successfully completed in 2011 due to the support of lots of great neighbours. Today, the shelter is a welcome spot for everyone.
Thanks to all members for making this and other projects in our community possible. TGHA would also like to extend a “thank you” to staff at both schools who keep our playgrounds clean and children safe near the water and ice on the pond every year.
