Save The Date: Giant Tiger BBQ Fundraiser on Sept. 21st



Join us in supporting the Inclusive Play Project at two exciting community events hosted by Giant Tiger Stores in Kingston! From September 13 to 22, Giant Tiger will be running a ‘Round Up’ donation campaign at checkout, giving customers the opportunity to round up their total purchase and donate to this important cause. All proceeds will go directly toward building accessible and inclusive play spaces where children and families of all abilities can come together to play, learn, and grow.

On Saturday, September 21, both Giant Tiger locations will also host a fundraising BBQ from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For just $5, enjoy a hot dog, chips, and a drink, with all proceeds benefiting the Inclusive Play Project. It’s a great chance to grab a delicious meal while supporting an incredible initiative that’s working to create more inclusive playgrounds in our community.

“We are proud to support the Inclusive Play Project and invite everyone in the Kingston community to join us in making a difference,” said Giant Tiger management.

Update on Playground Features

After speaking with many community groups, organizations, parents, and kids, we have outlined some improvements to our playground features! The design has the entire playground covered in rubber surfacing, which provides great accessibility for wheelchair users. A few other new features include the accessible merry-go-round, an adapted seesaw, a communication board, ramps and transfer stations, and many sensory panels! To get a better idea of some of these features, check out our Instagram page where we post equipment highlights (@theinclusiveplayproject).

Take a look at the plans!! We are super excited to share these new features with everyone and cannot wait for all of the playground fun.
