Want to have say about what is found in our Community Park? Come on out to the CYN (Gym Entrance) on Thursday July 7, 2011 from 6-9pm. There will be posters with pictures of different playground equipment and the youth can select their favorite pieces. We will also have a book of exercise equipment for the adults and teenagers to select from.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE THERE!!!!!!!
"LET THEM BE KIDS" is a volunteer, non-profit organization created to build community capacity on the grassroots level; while building playgrounds, skate parks and fitness parks across Canada. These projects leave a legacy of community members who are inspired and better equipped to lay a strong foundation for a brighter tomorrow.
Mom's For Play was started because the six of us moms saw a need for a safe and secure place for our children to play. The more we talked to the community we saw that our vision needed to be expanded and so the Vision for the St. Alban's Community Park began.
We want to create a core area for the commuinity where residents of all ages can come together on common ground for physical activity, family outings and where comunity members of all ages can socialize. The community park can help restore pride in our community and creates a desirable location to help attract new residents to St. Alban's.
Mom's For Play intends to give the residents a sense of control over the community's needs by listening to their choices, showing that every residents opinion matters.

Community Flea Market
The Lions Club was a buzz today for the Community Flea Market! There were approximately 22 tables set up with many different articles for sale, from clothing and toys to bikes, sleds and household items. Everyone was happy to come out and support this great cause and just as excited to make some money off their gently used belongings.
Riffs donated a whole rack of new clothing and Con Organ donated three TV's with all proceeds going to the Community Park.
Mom's For Play sold tickets on a basket of assorted goodies. One Hundred tickets were printed and all were sold in the first hour.
