OCENET helps build new play structure for Clifford Bowey Public School

Clifford Bowey Principal Laurie Kavanagh, Community Foundation of Ottawa Director of Grants Anita James, OCENET Executive Director Geoff Best, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, and OCDSB Zone 11 Trustee Shirley Seward officially open the new playground area

On November 17, the students and staff of Clifford Bowey Public School celebrated the official ribbon-cutting ceremony at the site of newly installed playground structures. OCENET contributed $50,000 to this project. The playground area is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the special education students who attend the school. For example, the new playground is accessible for students in wheelchairs and a high-tech “spongy” ground cover protects students from injury. The students are thrilled with their new playground!

On hand to join in the celebration were the contributing partners to the project including OCENET, represented by Geoff Best. OCDSB Superintendents Carson, Paxton and Sliwa, and Zone 11 area trustee, Shirley Seward, also attended the opening among many other distinguished guests.
