Garibaldi Annex is $20,000 closer to making our playground vision a reality. This weekend, we received confirmation that a grant in the amount of $20,000 will deposited into our PAC gaming account towards erecting a new play structure by no later than September 2009.

Further to that great news received, we are in the process of applying for a grant with Home Depot in partnership Kaboom for the remainder of the funds, along with much needed support in the planning and building of the actual structure. We have been contacted by Home Depot and encouraged to submit our application after our initial e-mail to them.
