THE AWARD
The community of South Dundas was a recipient of a national award and matching grant from the LET THEM BE KIDS foundation. This "Helping Hands" award assists schools and communities like ours purchase and install playground equipment while strengthening the community as a whole.
For more information on Let Them Be Kids, visit www.ltbk.ca.
In September 2011, 250 community volunteers and businesses came together to finance and build a playground at Earl Baker Park in South Dundas, ON. The final design capitalized on existing park elements maximizing the play area. The park now features a senior area for bigger kids and a junior area for little kids.
