I am working with some amazing people in the financial department at the city to set up an account for donations which will allow for tax receipts. We will also be able to accept online donations through the Canada Helps platform. We have a few people working behind the scenes on a website, and we are getting ready to present to the Rotary club next month. I'm told there is a grant writer on staff with the city, and he is exploring municipal grant options. Once we have somewhere for donations to be made, we can take this to the media.  Stay tuned keep spreading the word! Rachel

We are getting some amazing traction with the project. Thank you all for continuing to spread the word and invite others to our page to support us. We are working hard behind the scenes to get ready for our council presentation. After that we can begin our fundraising campaign! We now have a grant writing sub-committee, and we are putting together an event planning sub- committee (a HUGE thanks to our volunteers!) This week we officially partnered with Extend a Family Kingston and we have also connected with Queen's University to get OT and PT students involved. One thing is becoming clear as this project moves along... this initiative is quickly becoming more than just a playground. Its sparking some serious potential for change around accessibility and inclusion in Kingston. I'm so excited to see what comes next. Because playgrounds should be for everyone!
