Everyone knows a little co-

operation goes a long way, but

it’s not often we see proof as
visible as that at Copper Moun-
tain Elementary. Anyone who
hasn’t been out to Copper
Mountain in the past few
months would be pleasantly sur-
prised.

On the north side of the
school is a newly leveled multi-
use playing field featuring a full-
sized soccer pitch and softball
diamond: to the west of the
school is a smaller primary field,
and to the south a new adven-
ture. playground. The new play-

ground offers three adventure
activity centers which include
monkey bars, slides, several
swing sets (one just for infants)
and a treadmill or barrel roll

“Skeena all-stars were Lisa Van

Hulle, Leah Wilson and Natalie

Michaud. All-stars from Thorn-

hill were Mag Hugon and Tanya’

Losier. ;

source that got the job done. New multi-use playing fields |
and three adventure playgrounds at Copper Mountain
Elementary School are a monument to community spirit.

appreciate by simply exploring
these improvements, however, is
the range of community co-
operation that has been demon-
- strated here. An upgrade of such
- dimensions — nearly $70,000
over a single summer — was far
beyond the scope of ‘any single
community resource,. but
through the. joint effort . of
School District 88,.the Regional
District of Kitimat-Stikine, the
B.C. Lotteries Branch and many
local volunteers, Copper Moun-
tain now enjoys one of the finest
outdoor community recreational
areas in the Terrace area.

The project was managed by.
the regional district and: under
their direction, workers from the
Terrace Correctional .Centre
cleared and leveled the land and
built fencing material from the.
trees they cut; six teens em-

ployed as summer students built
the fence and worked on the
playing fields and playground;
six corporate sponsors provided
their time, machinery and
materials; workers from the

School District 88 Maintenance

‘ Department offered their pro-
fessional expertise as equipment
operators, electricians" and

painters; and 13 residents,

- primarily from Copper Moun-

‘tain, volunteered their time and
professional services. -

_ "We were very pleased that
we could do something jointly

with School District 88,’’

regional district administrator
_Bob Marcellin: says of the pro-
ject. “It’s going to. be well
_ used.’? Regional district plan-
ning assistant Ted Pellegrino
adds to that by explaining that

the project is a valuable asset.

The final critique, though,
belongs to one-time Copper

Mountain Elementary teacher

and present day school trustee
Eva Daniels. “I was very im-
pressed,’? she remarked. follow-.
ing a recent visit to the school.
Daniels says she first examined

‘the ‘‘well graded’’ playing fields

(even ‘after three days of rain
there were no puddles), and then
the playgroutid, . where ~ she.

found young students were -
“thrilled” with the new-facility.

‘*Remembering Copper

Mountain playgrounds from _—

prior -years when I taught
there,” says Daniels, ‘I believe
we have moved in a very positive
direction to meet the recrea-
tional needs of our youngsters.”
