Playground for Rural First Nation Community

Organization information

The Power of Play

Location: West Vancouver, Canada

Summary

The First Nation in Lytton is isolated from mainland British Columbia by the Fraser River. It was home to an operational residential school until the late 1970s, and at one point was known for being the suicide capital of Canada. Over 40 years later, the effects of this traumatic history are still prevalent. We aim to change that narrative by building a community center, sustainable playground, and multi-sport field to give children the gift of play, and the community a space to come together.
