PPRA Receives Federal Funding to Install Shade Sails in Community Park behind the Plant Recreation Centre
PPRA was awarded $74,238 in federal funding from the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative for the Shade Sails Seniors’ COVID-19 Compliant Park Programming project.
The project will increase the safety and vibrancy of the play area behind the Plant Recreation Centre in Ottawa by installing Shade Sails over a sunny part of the play area and park benches. It will also support the purchase of outdoor recreation equipment and games which can be played while respecting public health rules on social distancing as well as the hiring of a park animator to encourage seniors to get out, gather under the shade, meet new people, walk, and use the COVID-19 compliant games equipment available.
