School Yard/ Field Update: Artificial Turf/ School Yard Improvements

On October 29th, we had a pre-construction meeting regarding the School yard. We are happy to report that we have signed off on the construction commencement form. The scope of the work includes school yard improvements in the north-west and the east yard. This will include, but not be limited to, pavement and field removals, the replacement of asphalt pavements, artificial turf field, play equipment and safety surfacing, basketball court, concrete seat walls, sub-drainage and drainage improvements, new pavement markings, wood work, mulch surfaces, tree planting with soil cells, storage unit and fencing. The contractor proposes that we start this work on the East Yard (new play structure area and Daycare area), weather permitting, in the Spring (April/May). The play equipment (Dynamo) will be ordered. Outdoor Daycare space will be coordinated during this construction phase. The contractor proposes a potential fenced area for the Daycare while work is being completed in the Daycare enclosed yard. The contractor will notify us in advance so that the School and Daycare, (the Daycare is a part of all our meetings), can be prepared. We will have bi-weekly meetings and will keep you all updated on this construction. We are hopeful that if all goes well, (and weather permitting), this project can be completed by September 2021.
