COMMUNITY PLAYGROUND APPLICATION ST.
BERNADETTE CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
RECOMMENDATION:
That St. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School be awarded a one-time community
playground grant of $750 in 2006 toward construction of a new creative playground
facility, to be located within the school campus.
BACKGROUND:
City of Kitchener Council in 1996 established a program whereby school and community groups
may be awarded one-time grants to assist with funding for community playground construction
projects. The program offers a maximum $750 one-time grant award for individual school
playground projects.
REPORT:
S1. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School has made application to the City of Kitchener
Community Services Department for a one-time grant award through the City's Community
Playground Grant Program. The school playground project has the support of the Waterloo
Region Catholic District School Board, the school principal and school council.
S1. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School is now engaged in a variety of fund raising efforts to
generate support and funding necessary to purchase and construct a new playground for the
school campus. The playground will be available for use by the general community.
S1. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School warrants that all aspects of the playground's design,
fabrication and installation will be constructed in accordance with current CSA safety standards.
City of Kitchener staff is satisfied that the grant application submitted by S1. Bernadette Catholic
Elementary School meets the conditions and intent as described within the City of Kitchener's
Community Playground Grant Program policy.
