Norton Community Playground desired outcomes

This is what we hope to accomplish by rebuilding our playground:

• To create a welcoming, safe social hub where residents and families of all ages and abilities can gather.
• To restore pride and ownership in our community and to remind everyone what can be accomplished when we work together.
• To create a snowball effect that will re-establish our community as a place of importance, a place to visit, stay, and return to.
• To help teach our children and youth to be engaged, appreciative, responsible, and respectful of what they have and what they can offer to future generations.
• To give all residents a sense of belonging, comfort, and hope for a better tomorrow!

In order to accomplish these goals, we need your help. 

Please sign up and volunteer on Build Day if you have not already.

Sign up here to help on Sept. 22

Friendly reminders:

Bingo tonight at the Norton Legion. Starts at 6pm. There will be volunteers from the Playground Committee in attendance to help out and a portion of the proceeds will go towards the playground. We are also in need of more volunteers to help at Bingo on Thursday evenings. If you are available in June, please let us know that you would like to help out.

You can also help us with fundraising by donating your recyclables at Norrad's Depot in Sussex. Just let them know in the office that you are making a donation on behalf of the Norton Community Playground.

And, of course, do not forget to mark May 25 on your calendar. There will be a community potluck picnic at the Norton Elementary School at 6pm. All the children of the community will have the opportunity to participate in our "Dot-Maucracy" event, where they can vote on the playground design. Plus, you can drop off baked goods or plants for the Norton Flea Market, which will take place on May 26 in the Legion.

The Norton Community Playground has begun to make the news! So far this week we have been on the radio (CBC) as well as getting plenty of coverage in the Kings County Record. Word is spreading and we're gaining momentum! Let's show them what our community can accomplish.
