*Match Funds Opportunity Deadline is Oct 31st*
*Match Funds Opportunity Deadline is Oct 31st*

PROJECT LAUNCH & FUNDRAISING
The proposed plans on display at the Annual General Meeting have been tweaked a bit and tendered for quotes, spring is here, and hopefully the construction will begin soon. As with most outdoor construction projects in Winnipeg, all outdoor schedules are very much weather dependent. A version of the photo display of the proposed enhancements to Kleysen Park that was available at the Annual General Meeting is now posted on our web site. Please take a look, but keep in mind that the final project will most likely be a little different, depending on costs and things that come up during construction. The planned enhancements include: - A play structure expansion, to include a greater variety of play components that will at the same time improve accessibility. - Six new trees - A picnic shelter with two picnic tables, one of which will be accessible. - Bicycle racks - New accessible entries to the playground - Granular path connections between the playground, picnic shelter, and spray pad - Remedial work on the drainage in the area surrounding the spray pad The time is right for this project to get those extra funds being offered through the additional $25,000 matching support by the Kleysens. Every dollar you can give now will equal two dollars for the fund. Take advantage of that today – for the children! **This project was initiated by a $25,000 donation to the Linden Woods Community Foundation by Hubert and Bernice Kleysen, who have committed to donating up to an additional $25,000 to match funds raised in the community. That means that with the first $25K donated, plus another $25K donated by community, the playground project gets another $25K, totalling $75K. |
SEPTEMBER 2023 UPDATE
The contract for the project has been awarded, and it is anticipated that construction will start in mid-to-late September, depending on weather conditions, supply chain, etc. The plan is that the expansion of the play area, installation of the new playground equipment, and the new pathways, will be completed this year. The shaded picnic area will be installed in the spring of 2024. If you have been by the park or community centre lately, you may have noticed that the posts bordering the park along the sidewalk have already been removed. Thanks to the generosity of so many residents of Linden Woods, the fund raising goal of $25,000 (which will be matched by Hubert and Bernice Kleysen) is getting closer, with $17,150 donated to date. To help us reach the goal and to take advantage of the matching offer, you can make a donation to the Linden Woods Community Foundation, designated to “Kleysen Park”. The Foundation accepts donations: By cash: (Not to be mailed) - Dropped at LWCC, with the name and address of the donor. Receipts for all donations will be issued promptly. By cheque: Paid to “Linden Woods Community Foundation” and mailed/delivered to 414 Lindenwood Dr. W., Wpg MB, R3P 2K5. Online at: www.CanadaHelps.org - Search for “Linden Woods Community Foundation” Please consider donating prior to October 31st, to maximize the impact your generousity has on the playground expansion. That's the deadline for accessing the matching funds! Do you have questions about the Foundation, how it operates and what it does? Ideas to share? Time to volunteer?
