Prince George, B.C.- The Aboriginal Choice School in Prince George is to receive $50 thousand dollars from the Provincial Government to upgrade its playground.

The money is part of $3.3 million  that is  being shared by 80 schools   in the province to  repair, improve and replace playgrounds.

This is the final phase of an $8-million playground funding commitment made last September, bringing the total number of schools benefiting from the two-year program to 227 provincewide.

The addition and renewal of playground equipment at schools throughout B.C. will  help in the  promotion of active and healthy lifestyles by ensuring students and communities have access to safe and modern playground facilities.
