So Close!!!!! Only 3 days

The Build day is so close, and we are getting VERY excited! Zenner Concrete Pumping is on its way as we speak to load up our new playground equipment and bring it home. A HUGE thank you to them for doing this!!! Some preparation work will take place tomorrow and Friday, but the big build will be Saturday. If you volunteered to bring some of the tools we need for the build, they can be dropped of at the Community Centre starting today. If you drop them off before Saturday, please pre-label them yourself. Some of the tools will be needed Thursday and Friday, so if you can drop them off , that would be fantastic!!!
