    White Oak Playground Project Update

    The second phase of the Wildwood Playground Project at White Oak is ready for ground breaking!  During the week of September 1, the City of Calgary will begin to break ground to prep the area to the west of the small children’s play area for the Indigenous Education phase. This phase has been 2 years in the making, with full consultations with CAUAC, Elder Clarence Wolfleg, Indigenous Artist Ryan Willert and the City of Calgary.  We are excited that this will start and hope to be completed this fall. Stay tuned for further information on the installation of this unique playground element! Donations are still being accepted for this valuable project…

    Resources for kids

    Following the closure of schools in response to the Covid-19 epidemic, the City of Calgary has created a new online resource for families with children to help them through this admittedly challenging time. The resources are directed at families with children who may be looking for creative online programming options. The programming team worked with others across Community Services to develop activities centered around Learning, Staying Active and Crafts & Games. Each week, the team will add new activities and ideas to help keep children entertained and active while at home. The resource can be found here.
