Kinship Place is BUILT!

Okay we apologize for not posting much in the last while….As it stands Kinship Place is a reality THANKS to you! We are so lucky to be surrounded by such a depth of talent, generosity and resources in this community, I would not dare venture even a guess as to the amount of “inkind” volunteer hours and equipment that went into building Kinship Place! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU! In the begi...nning of this process the Mabou Playground Committee made up a list of goals for the project. They were as follows:
1. To provide a safe and inclusive venue for our children to play and make friends
2. To create and strengthen the bond between generations in our community by bringing people together and creating a multi-generational space.
3. To increase volunteerism
4. To teach our children by example and inclusion the value of community and volunteering.
5. To create and re-spark community spirit and pride! YEAH MABOU

I think anyone present through the build process could physically check the above goals off and I think that by doing so, although these were the goals that guided us through the process I am unsure if we ever believed we could accomplish them, so again thank you.
…And to be able to do all of this in memory of Tracey MacDonell-MacDougall, we were so very honoured! A deep heartfelt thank you to Ian & Mary Jane, Francis, Addison and Lori Anne for allowing us to honour Tracey, her spirit was certainly celebrated and felt on build day and throughout this whole process…..hugs At this point we feel it inappropriate to name individual names of those who gave of their time and talent as sooo many people have given, just know that we as a committee and as parents of young children and as community members are very grateful for what you have helped create. Please help us maintain Kinship Place, there will be little projects happening throughout the next few weeks and into the spring, bear with us and if you would like to help out you are certainly welcome at any time! There are still some bills coming in, and we are still accepting donations and for now they can be made at the East Coast Credit Union Mabou Branch – Playground Account or you can mail a cheque payable to: Mabou & District Community Development Association P.O. Box 232 Mabou, N.S. B0E 1X0. Thank you all again so very much, and the best part is that Kinship Place since it has opened has lived up to its name and has been a very well used gathering place for children, parents, grandparents and caregivers!
YEAH MABOU!
