Idée acf2584:
Affichée le octobre 29, 2009
Playground experience is an important part of physical and social development that all our children deserve an opportunity to enjoy.
Our goal is to provide a new playground and upgraded play surface that will ensure a safe and fully inclusive environment for all the children that attend South Slope Elementary and the BCSD (British Columbia School for the Deaf) as well as families within the community.
Our school provides services to both deaf and hearing students. We are also fortunate to have an on-site before-and-after school childcare facility, South Slope Out of School Care, operated by the Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion and a preschool for deaf children, run by the Deaf Children’s Society. Within the school’s catchment area there are also 7 pre-schools/daycare centres including Fairhaven Children’s Centre, Burnaby South Childcare Centre, Bee House Montessori Daycare, Bright Star Montessori School, My First Blanket Daycare and South Burnaby Preschool. A new playground would serve the many children attending these centres.
Our existing play structure does not meet the needs of our diverse student community. The antiquated play set and wood chip play surface do not provide safe access for children with limited mobility or those in wheelchairs. It is outdated and replacement parts are not available. An updated play set supported by wheelchair accessible resilient surfaces is exactly what is needed to accommodate the needs of each and every child that attends the school.
South Slope and BCSD PAC and Playground Committee has thoroughly researched and selected pieces for our future playground that would specifically meet the needs of all the children of our school and neighboring community. We have been fundraising for this project since 2006 and have thoroughly researched to plan a playground that is inclusive and accessible. Our Playground Committee continues to fundraise to support the purchase of this playground. This could take approximately 4 years to complete without outside grants like AVIVA Insurance. We were able to purchase and install a "Swayfun Wheelchair Glider" with ramps, guardrails and curbs., an equipment piece recommended by the Fraser Health Authority's occupational therapist. This is Phase 1 of our plan and its cost was over $27 000. The total cost for purchase and installation of Phases 2, 3 and 4 is $27 839.98, $30 723.08 and $41 729.82 respectively. The total cost of purchasing this versatile and invaluable playground is estimated at $100,000. For insurance purposes, Burnaby School District # 41 will need to place the purchase order and will absorb the cost of installation for the entire project. This would ensure that the project would be completed within 2010.
Please vote for our playground. This project will be a significant improvement to our neighbourhood and community overall. Thank you!

The current playground really is not a safe one. With a lot of it boarded up & other parts with bolts sticking out, I no longer let my child play on it. It is so hard to explain why we can't fix the broken parts to a Kindergarten. Good luck to us all.

Please take the time to support these kids in their goal to get a new safe playground. These are great kids and some of them have special needs and they face so many challenges in life and they need a playground like this where they can go to play and feel like a kid again and get away from the everyday challenges. Just imagine the joy and happiness it will bring to their faces and for the next generation of kids to come to South Slope school, one of a kind. Thanks for all the support.

This school is not a large one. In fact only about 200 students. Some of which have special needs or are deaf. You have done really well with votes so far. It has been a battle for awhile. This really shows the community spirit. Our area is like a small town. Our playground is our centre , where kids can gather in the summer and after school to play. Parents can get to know one another, which is not easy these days. Cheers to more votes on the way!
dcembre 8, 2009 @ 7:53 EST

You are right . Our school is small. But our plan is a good one that will benefit many children. It is amazing that we have had so much support. This shows how dear to people's hearts this cause is. It is a simple plan to bring joy to kid's lives. Kids who could normally not play at lunch will be able to. Kids can make new friends and have fun.

Creating this dream will create a community. There are so many negative consequences to not having a community to rely on. In a large city it is harder to get to know your neighbours and harder for children to have green space and places to play. Many children live in homes without yards and like to stay afterschool to play. But , it is hard when the current playground is so limited and keeps disappearing. Sweet dreams South Slope , I hope yours comes true.

In some ways it is harder to raise funds in a large city than a small town. Every parent you meet is selling the same chocolates or pies for any number of sports or school program. You become anonomous in a large city. Just another school with no funding. Aviva can change this for us. What a gift it would be. Thanks for paying attention to our needs Aviva!

My son is in Grade 1 at South Slope, he attended pre-school at South Slope as well so has been at the school for 4 years so far. The school is very inclusive of diversity and it's so wonderful they have taken that into consideration when planning for a new playground. Kids need to have safe and fun equipment to play on during their breaks so they can focus in class. It will take years for us to fundraise necessary funding to complete this project and with Aviva it's amazing to think this dream will become a reality sooner than later. Thank you for considering our project.

I can't find anything in the rules about only using Canadian addresses. I see you have to be a Canadian resident to be able to participate by submitting an idea but I can't find anything that states that the votes must originate from Canada. Can anyone tell me where it mentions that? I will still vote from California and encourage my out of Canada relatives to vote until we find out for sure. Keep up the voting everyone!!!

About the old school yard playground. It is definately beyond recycling. Unfortunately as is breaks, it cannot be fixed or repaired. There are no longer parts available for mending. No one would want even if it was safe. It just too outdated and in bad shape.

My son is in Kindergarten and he loves going to the Playground. It is something I can't deny him but his wheelchair is very difficult to push on the wood chips. He still has a smile on his face as he chases his friends. These will be the ones to push him as they all get older so please vote for Southslope. We really need an updated playground where all the kids can be free to play and discover!!!

Grade 6/7 students are taking all the food donations downtown tomorrow to support The Beat Cares. The community was extremely generous in donating toys and food that will make many families happy this Christmas. Thanks, everyone! If you haven't been to the atrium lately, be sure to stop by. The Christmas trees are laden with new socks, gloves and hats that BCSD/South Slope is collecting for needy families in Burnaby schools. I think the Intermediate's tree has the most. What do you think?
dcembre 10, 2009 @ 1:23 EST

Give Me Five...more votes and more days of voting. The Grade 6/7 classes road skytrain to Vancouver today to bring toys and food to donate to the Beat Cares. Of course, the generosity of our community resulted in me having to load my entire SUV and drive the donations down! The students mad their debut on the stage for a photo shoot. And yes, they were holding one of our Aviva Community Fund GIVE ME FIVE banners. Our community is a model of social responsibility...equality, respect, empathy, responsibility and integrity.

My little cousin goes to South Slope.

Only before and afterschool is when everybody can play on their playground. I'm voting so everybody can play together on a new playground.

acf 2610 (Quilleton au Profit de Yannick Camire) he as Dwn syndrom and way down the list but he need's less than 10 000$ only has to be in the top 25 he's only 9 years old and confined in a wheelchair I gave him a vote, he's not in our categorie let's make it a good deed for christmas at least one vote each maybe it will give Yannick a wheelchair for christmas.

I agree with the comment about letting the intermediates play with the primary. Hopefully if we get this , they can join together. It is not fair that intermediates don't get to use the playground now. It would be so so so super if the playground was big enough for everyone.
dcembre 11, 2009 @ 12:53 EST

I also agree my son wanted to play with his "little buddy " last year , and could not. We need this so that all the kids can have a chance to play if they so choose. It will be good for all their skills and help them burn off energy for better studying.

I think this is a great idea. There is really no funding other than what parents raise on their own. We should give these kids an opportunity by voting for them.

This will allow all the children to play together. Inclusive of ages and abilities. Our volunteer PAC and other parents have worked hard at fundraising.... but this is just the boost we are looking for. Thanks for the opportunity Aviva.

Hello & here is vote but please read this carefully. I send this to all in the Top 15 this weekend. I am a supporter of Gabriola BC Clinic since Day 1 but I am NOT asking for your support. I have a different suggestion that I hope will appeal to EVERYONE voting daily: SEND A VOTE also at Yannick (2610). He is wallowing with under 5000 votes but only need US$10,000. We have a saying where I work in Africa: "When elephants compete it is the grass that suffers." Yannick's project deserves to have 25,000 votes more than any of us frankly ... he is disadvantaged and just needs transportation; many do not access the web site as it is mainly in French. I dare you to go read the "idea" and not be moved by it. Let's keep voting for ourselves as always, but also let's try to put Yannick on Top to point out that, ultimately, this whole contest is about the individual - every one of us. Let's make this our communal cause in these last days. Thanks for your time. BOOST YANNICK DAILY! (2610)

Where Oh Where On the Playground, Do I Love to Be? By Jean Shuman Where oh where on the playground do I love to be? Oh at school, recess is fun. There’s a place to go and play. We leave our classroom and go to the playground. Where oh where on the playground do I love to be? There are choices of where do I want to play? On the slide? Under the trees, where it’s shady and I can rest? On the swings, where I can go up into the air? How about where I can climb? Or should I go out to the field, where I can run and run? Where oh where on the playground do I love to be?

We have to drive for 1/2 hour to get to a playground that my son can play on independently. It is worth the trip to see him play with other kids. The playground is more than just fun equipment, it is the children's meeting place and social centre. This playground will have benefits to a far-reaching community. This school has a lot of kids with physical special needs and this playground will be a place for them to interact in their community independently.

Thanks to everyone and here is a vote from me on Gabriola Island (acf 3958). But I am really here to urge you to join the "Top 15" Challenge to BOOST YANNICK who is still way near the bottom. Thanks to those who have already responded (even if you can not read French). He is a boy of 9 years age with Down's Syndrome & only needs $10,000 for some transport but is way below the 25 cutoff so will miss out if he doesn't get a BOOST. Everyone in the TOP 15 is golden with continued hard work. But let's put an individual - a real single face - on Top over the next few days. We all compete very well but let's show we can also cooperate for a good self-less common cause! Go visit Yannick at acf 2610.

At the moment you are in second place with 16,912 votes. Your group should be very pleased with the results. Our group is having a roller-coaster ride between 23rd and 25th place.

Wow! I am thrilled to be part of such a supportive and giving community! I have seen our acf # on SO MANY other remarkable sites. Thank you for showing the true spirit of Christmas. And the true spirit of South Slope. We really need this playground and our families have worked so hard to fulfill this Dream. Keep it up South Slope!

I'm coming over from Thirsty Church(acf1612) to cast a vote for your project; to say "HI" and congratulations to your group on making it into the Semi-finals. Our group is having a roller-coaster ride between 23rd and 25th place, now we've momentarily slipped to 26th. If you wish, come have a look at see what we are all about. We welcome visitors to our posting and any support we can get over the next three days. We're proud of the support received from our small rural community of less than 200 people.

I'm giving you this vote this morning on Yannick's behalf and hope you support him. I'm not from Yannick's home area but he needs your help and threatens nobody. He only needs about $10K for transport; with Down's Syndrome in a small community at the age of nine life is not easy. I know life is hard on many people and children, but a communal show of support is what we have challenged everyone in the Top 15 to do as he is one of the few "individuals" on the whole board. Let's show him that all of Canada cares. BTW I am NOT from Yannicks camp but from another of the Top 15. Let's put a second vote from everyone over at Yannick's site. Thanks. Yannick is at 2610. Here's an idea ... bookmark the following and after you vote for your own project, click on the bookmark every day and vote for Yannick too: http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf2610

Good morning from Gabriola. Here is a vote today with thanks for your support of Gabriola and - especially - for Yannick. REMEMBER the cut-off is in fact 9PM BC Time every day because the day starts at midnight EST according to contest rules (refer to handy countdown clock at top of page). So those of you in the habit of voting late in the evening may have already voted. **** Also let's send more votes and good wishes to Yannick and family as part of our "Top 15 challenge" to push him into the Top 25 ... And, incidentally if any of you are inclined to help Yannick in a supplementary way or to send his family a Christmas card please look at the Gabriola posts for more information and addresses or go to the www.ghcs.com website which is the official site listed in our idea.

Tom & June: all the best wishes from Gabriola in your quest. Winning is more than just the votes for us in the Top 15 at this stage, though. Give a thought to Yannick (acf2610). Let's put him into the Top 25. Or if that doesn't work (and even if it does) and you'd like to help him in his micro-quest for his dream, then visit the Gabriola page now to get the info you need or the permanent Gabriola site www.ghcs.ca which stay open of course even after the Aviva pages close. This is just so he has some suitable transportation at relatively low cost - his project is listed as "Small" so threatens none of us. Can you help make his dream - the dream of a disabled nine year old child - a reality??

• The wonderful comments and support from all across the country are simply amazing. Who would have thunk??? The networking and sharing and encouragement among communities has been beyond words and truly inspiring! Sure, there is the element of reaching out and trying to secure votes so that the special project that is near and dear to each of us makes it into the top 25 - the money will certainly go a long way to ensuring the project becomes a reality. But it goes much beyond that - way, way beyond actually. I suspect the individuals that get involved with these endeavors have a sense of community, commitment and caring for their fellow human beings. There are a number of worthy projects and good people and supporters connected to each. There has been a real sense of camaraderie, a bonding that has occurred, a spirit of giving and being able to help; to be able to make a difference. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, it is what Christmas is really about.

Did anyone watch the CBC news last night? There was a national study that found 5 times more children break their arms landing on a woodchip playground (compared to other surfaces). Well apart from the horrid slivers we are endangering our children on our sad old playground. I sure hope Aviva comes through for us! I've posted the link below if you'd like to read about it. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20091215/sand_091215/20091215?hub=Health On another note, way to go South Slope/BCSD!!

I heard that report on CBC Radio today. That report compared woodchip injuries to granite sand, there being less injuries on the sand because a hand or foot could slide when it hit the ground. They don't slide on woodchips. They said they didn't know about rubber or other surfaces. This report came from Toronto Hospital for Sick Children.

My votes are for all of you in the top 60.,realizing that not everyone will make the top 25. I am so amazed by all the comments in all of the categories and ideas. Every idea is deserving of support. This has brought so many communities together to support each other's ideas. Let's all vote for each other tomorrow. Thank you to Aviva for creating this opportunity. I know the lasting alliances and friendships between our communities can go on, long after the voting ends. Let us take time to reflect, not only on our effort for our own ideas, but for everyone who has supported our ideas, friends, family, neighbours, etc. Thank you.

Author Unknown The average runner runs until the breath in him is gone, But the champion has the iron will that makes him carry on. For the rest the average runner begs when limp his muscles grow, But the champion runs on leaden legs, his courage makes him go. The average man's complacent when he's done his best to score, But the champion does his best, and then he does a little more. GO SOUTH SLOPE!

I teach in Mayerthorpe, AB and I fully understand the need for safe and appropriate playground equipment for our children. I applaud your community support, well done! You have my last day's votes (which are many, because my family is huge) and good luck in the finals. My students have also worked very hard to reach the top 25 and your school must be pumped as ours is too! Make sure you check out some of the other ideas such as Joe's Place (10000-50000 category) or heck even oursand throw your support back. Thank you to Aviva for allowing our communities to look outward as well as at our own backyards to look for ways to improve our communities. Well done South Slope.

I was reading through some of your preious comments and I wanted to let you know that a couple of the "rude/inappropriate" comments were put on many sites slamming ideas that were posted, not just yours, the individuals were quite opinionated and hurtful. Personally, I think it is quite sad that they spent their time trashing the hard work and determination of others instead of clicking their mouse to put a vote towards some excellent community projects. To all your kids that are voting let it be a lesson to you that we can not control what others say about us, but we can control how we react ... react positively as you have and vote vote vote - you will be the winner.... makes you wonder where they will be... hmmmmm Let's go Western Canada let's take over the top 25 and send some cash our way.

Two years ago, we did a similar project where I live. We also got funding from Success by 6 (provincial program), the Rick Hansen Foundation, the Lionesses, and a local child focused charity. We were able to raise $178000 within two years which then enabled us to also do surrounding landscaping. The School District also donated the installation time and work on the foundation and landscaping. It's all possible! Good luck!

Hi Denyse, Glad to hear there are similar projects out there. Unfortunately for us, there are no more provincial programs that will help us with funds. Cutbacks. Our PAC looked into charities , etc, but with the recession, we have been forced to come up with the money ourselves. Rick Hansen did help out with the Sway Fun piece, but we also added alot to get it. Thanks for voting for us. You must know how valueable our project is to the kids! Happy Holidays!

This project will bring alot of smiles to alot of kids. The current kids put up with alot of slivers, falls, and pieces being boarded up and/ or taken away in the last few years. Also, it is not suitable for the older kids, and so they are forced to occupy themselves at break times. If we get this , every child will be able to play, and all of the surrounding daycare centres and preschools and neighbourhood kids will too! What a gift !!!! It would NEVER be forgotten that you made this possible Aviva Canada!

It's tight at the top South Slope. Just under 2 hours of voting left. I sitting here sipping a medicinal, trying to stay calm. Whose heading to bed before 12AM EST? I thought not! Keep voting and supporting. It's heart warming to see the support we've been given today at Camp Triumph. Things are looking more promising than they did at this time last night, but as Yogi Berra said, "it ain't over til it's over", so we need to continue working hard, making sure everyone we know has voted today. I agree with triumph - please send support to our friends and dedicated supporters at Gabriola Island, acf3958, and The Thirsty Church, acf1612. Hopefully we can all hold our positions in the Top 25. Once again Thanks to all our supporters and Best of Luck. May we all be blessed with a spot in the TOP 25.

I have no idea how far down the skating club was but they have managed to fight hard and strong to the end. Voting is near impossible now as it takes me 3-4 minutes to cast one vote. The skating club have surpassed us and I see no way for us to recover the 100 votes they have on us now with just over 60 minutes to vote. I have enjoyed this competition and I thank everyone who have cast votes our way. Thank you to the parents of our school who have given up 2 weeks of their lives to vote, vote, vote. It has been a great race and now it is up to the judges. Thank you Aviva

This has been an amazing process. So many incredibly worthy causes. Even though we are in 2nd place, South Slope & BC School for the Deaf are the winners in my heart. I hope for the greatest success for all of the competitors. I'm excited for the final results. Good luck to everyone and Happy, Happy Holidays.

Congratulations South Slope and to your great community. We will be forever grateful for your support. Wwe share an interest in wanting what is best for our children.

Our project made it into the TOP 25 thanks to the wonderful support we received from Islanders, Maritimers and many newfound friends from across Canada.

Your vision of a suitable playground for your children, and future generations is an admirable one. It sounds like you're off to a good start and can easily see why you'd like to complete in one year versus dragging out over 4 years. PEI wishes you well in the judging round and appreciate your support in this final round of voting.

The important thing is to strive towards a goal which is not immediately visible. That goal is not the concern of the mind, but of the spirit. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras, 1942, translated from French by Lewis Galantière Thank you Aviva for making our childern's dream a reality as well as the community around us, This will make a difference in everybody's lives. There is no "I" in team, way to support the cause, and thanks for all the friends,family and co-workers that made our dream come true we couldn't of done it without you!

Congratulations to South Slope Elementary. Our two schools were neck and neck through the voting and I am very pleased to see that both playground projects will get where they want to go. Once we are both finished construction, we should trade photos to see what the AVIVA Fund has helped us to accomplish. Regards, T. Smith Principal: King George School

Great job and congratulations. It is difficult to receive funding for playground equipment, we have also researched this. Thank goodness for AVIVA, without their kindness our dreams would not have come true for a few years. Good luck with your project from Prison Yard Playground.

My last words go to Aviva Community Fund. Aviva's funding of the eight proposals is an exemplar of the social values we teach to our youth. You have made tens of thousands of Canadians happy!
