Seeking Donations for the new Playground

Great news - Thetis Elementary School will be getting a new playground this year! 

The school was fortunate to be awarded a government grant for $50,000 to support the purchase and installation of a new playground to replace the condemned facilities. While this sounds like a huge amount of money, the cost of approved playground equipment, shipping and installation is rather exorbitant.

The Thetis Island Parents Association is asking the community to consider a one-time donation of any amount to help offset costs of the new playground, which is designed to serve all children in or visiting our community. Our ambitious goal is to raise up to $4,000 from the community in one month, which the parents will match. Please consider helping us in this once-in-a lifetime opportunity to create a unique gathering place for families that will be used for decades to come.

Donations can be made by cash or cheque to the Thetis Island Parents Association, Box 14-7. For information please contact TIPA Treasurer Ron Bannister. Thank you!
