The 'Children Count' Early Childhood Fair was held at Brentwood Elementary School on April 4th, 2009, attracting about 120 families. Building on the Saanich Peninsula PlaySpaces map, we started to collect place based stories from young children, aged 3-7 years and their parents.
“Rediscovering places to play on the Saanich peninsula”
The Peninsula Parks and Play Spaces Project is an initiative to increase awareness and use of parks and play spaces as local resources that can help foster the healthy development of young children (0-6 years) and their families. The project has two phases—community involvement processes that will result in development of an informational map of the parks and play spaces on the Saanich Peninsula and “Play Days in the Parks” scheduled for spring 2007.
