Emilie Mae
Art & Literacy, Landscape Painting (Adults pg. 21) Since always, Emilie loved two things: making art and reading books. Later, she added teaching and working with kids to her list and happily became an elementary school teacher and reading instructor. She got so busy helping kids learn and read, her artwork dwindled away. She missed it so much she created a way to bring all her loves to people of all ages in her art & literacy classes.

he new All-Abilities and All-Ages playground scheduled to open this fall in Centennial Park will bring the entire community together in a welcoming green space created for healthy activity. From age and ability-specific play structures to outdoor exercise equipment, benches and shady areas to rest, this new playground will be the ideal gathering space for everyone who calls White Rock and South Surrey home. When it comes to “playing” outside, usually the first thought is a child running around a playground, but Peace Arch Hospital Foundation and the City of White Rock want to change that perception! Play is
equally important for adults and seniors as it is for kids and this new playground will have something for everybody. Children with disabilities can play alongside their able-bodied peers and adults and seniors can get fit with the innovative outdoor exercise stations. There are even two zip lines side by side – one accessible and one able-bodied – so that friends and family members can zip together in a friendly competition. If you’ve always wanted to try out a zip line, here’s your chance! Check whiterockcity.ca for the confirmed opening date and more information.
