Background & Comments

Earlier this year, a delegation appeared before Council requesting
financial assistance for proposed playground equipment at Leigh
Elementary School. The Council at that time, asked that the
delegation meet with the Parks & Recreation Committee. We first met
with Sven Urhdal, Secretary Treasurer of School District #43 and
School Trustee, Doris Westrand to investigate whether an official
request had come from the parents of Leigh Elementary for funding of
the equipment. It was pointed out to the Committee that no official
request had been made and that the Schoolboard would definitely look
at some kind of assistance.
