Longview Wins Major Award!

Congratulations to LONGVIEW who has recently won a Let Them Be Kids (LTBK) Award. As 1 of only 30 communities across Canada, Longview receives a 50/50 match opportunity that gives the community a dollar of equipment buying power for every fifty cents they raise. This will help to significantly cover the costs of the structure and equipment for building a new playground, skate park or outdoor fitness park.

This will assist Longview in their aim for an extreme make-over of their community focusing on the beautification of the main street, a new playground as well as fitness park for adults, and the upgrade of their Serenity Park and Memorial Garden.

Longview is planning one massive, exciting build day slated for October 15th of this year. They will need at least 200 volunteers for the day so please see their website for opportunities on how you might be able to help them achieve their goal. And check out this congratulatory video from Let Them be Kids Founder and CEO Ian Hill to learn more about this FABULOUS award!

Of course, things have already been in motion for Longview who recently submitted an flash mob video to the Communities ChooseWell initiative and WON a draw for a Supernova playground piece ($6800 value) in the PlayWorks Flash Mob contest.

We can’t wait to see how things develop! And to check out the LTBK launch in Longview, click here!
