A new accessible outdoor play space at Cozy Corner

Programs

Preschool at the Lewis Centre is now complete. With financial assistance from the Employment and Social Development Canada Enabling Accessibility Fund, the playground offers kids two to five years old with age-appropriate and accessible equipment and activities, and most importantly, fun! While the playground will be reserved for preschool participants when in session, after hours and on weekends the playground is open to all. We’re really proud of how it turned out and hope local kids will like it too. For more information on Cozy Corner Preschool visit www.courtenay.ca/cozy
