The province will fund 50 new playgrounds in 34 school districts by fall, the B.C. The announcement marks the second time the province has set aside money for new playgrounds in B.C. In May 2018, Premier John Horgan announced $5 million for school playgrounds. Gary Wong, chair of the Burnaby Board of Education, said the funding will result in three new playgrounds in that community. Priority will be given to schools where there are no playground, followed by schools where the existing one is aging.
