Kristy Smith, in the wheelbarrow, provided inspiration for the dedicated team behind the soon-to-be-completed OLMP playground.
Our Lady Mount Pleasant School students and staff are on the verge of enjoying a new, creatively designed, outdoor playground. Daydreaming and brainstorming on the topic of a new playground kicked into high gear several years back when Grades 5 and 6 became part of the local school. Kristy Smith (former school administrator) rounded up an energetic group of volunteers who were collectively deeply committed to raise at least $200,000 for the cause. Individuals and companies came through with donations large and small. Raffles, online auctions and bottle drives, mostly during the pandemic, under the direction of a driven team of parent volunteers, put the fundraising effort in high gear. The dream became reality when leading local contractor Nu Edge Construction Ltd. jumped on board with an impressively sized contribution, allowing the build to take place this month.
