Parents for Parks got a boost on Monday toward their goal of a new playground at Greenwood Park. They were presented a cheque for $2,000 by the IODE Margaret Stokes Chapter at Victoria Hall.

Middle Row: Dawn McNally, Emily Denham Weed. Back row: Erin Hawryluk, Maddy Hayes, Joanne Brand, Wendy Loosely.
