We’re excited to share that the Province of Nova Scotia has committed an additional $250,000 toward the development of the No. 2 Construction Battalion Athletic Facility and the brand new Jamie Shephard Playground!
This funding will help bring to life a space that’s not only rooted in legacy and community pride, but designed with accessibility and inclusivity at its core.
The playground will feature CSA-compliant accessible surfacing with certified wood fibre footing. We're also exploring options like pour-in-place rubber, and even natural or artificial turf for enhanced play experiences.
We’re working toward a space that includes:
• Wide, accessible walkways
• Fencing for safety
• Inclusive play features
• Engagement with youth to ensure the design reflects their needs and voices
This is more than a playground, it’s an investment in our youth, and a space where everyone belongs.
Thank you to Minister Ritcey, and the Province of Nova Scotia for their continued support and commitment to the No.2 Construction Battalion Athletic Facility and inclusive community spaces.
