A number of Tri-City parks and schools are in the running for a grant from BC Automobile Association.
BCAA is donating up to $100,000 to revitalize a play space somewhere in B.C. and nominated projects can be viewed and voted on online.
It could be a park, a playground, a sporting facility or an after-school study area, BCAA says in a press release, but if it’s a place where kids can spend their time and develop valuable life skills, the association wants to hear how it can be improved to make it a safer, better place for kids to play.
While many parents and communities are doing their own fundraising, BCAA sees the prize as possibly helping supplement those goals to get projects completed.
Nominations are open until May 1 at www.bcaaplayhere.com, where you can also view current Tri-City proposals, which include:
• Mountain View elementary school in Coquitlam;
• Nestor elementary school in Coquitlam;
• along the Coquitlam River;
• Rocky Point Park in Port Moody;
• and Chip Kerr Park, also in Moody.
