Playground dilemma for group who received 100 Men donation
The latest donation from Red Deer’s 100 Men Who Care organization comes at just the right time for a community group looking to provide students with the proper stuff for play time.
100 Men announced last week they’d be giving to the Red Deer Society for Christian Education, which currently has a pair of playground projects on the go.
Kimberley White, a parent at Gateway Christian, is heading the project. She says the group was in the process of raising $365,000 to build a second playground for older students when they received some unfortunate news about a month ago.
Roughly five acres of land to the west of Gateway Christian, which is run by Red Deer Public Schools, has been owned by Chinook’s Edge School Division ever since it operated River Glen Elementary out of the current Gateway building. Chinook’s Edge is now selling that land and has a buyer in place.
