十月24日，阿尔伯塔省政府宣布了一个试点项目，主要用于破旧需要更换的游乐场。学校委员会被要求提交符合一系列标准的五个游乐场清单（见下文）。

卡尔加里教育局审查了符合标准的学校，并将以下五所学校提交给政府，以纳入这个补助项目的考虑范围：

• Taradale学校（没有现有游乐场）
• Glenbrook学校
• James Short Memorial学校
• Abbeydale学校
• Catherine Nichols Gunn学校

“我们知道卡尔加里教育局还有更多的学校可以从这个项目中受益，但我们感谢阿尔伯塔省政府采取此举来支付一些急需的游乐场更新费用，”设施和环境服务主管Dany Breton说道。

一旦阿尔伯塔省政府宣布哪些学校将获得该项目的资助，卡尔加里教育局将会传达这一令人兴奋的信息。

游乐场更换标准

• 学校有一到六年级的组成部分
• 学校不是最近游乐场公告的一部分。完整的批准项目列表可在https://education.alberta.ca/school-infrastructure/current-school-projects上找到
• 游乐场没有获得其他政府资助，如社区设施增强计划资助
• 资金将不会用于偿还先前的游乐场项目支出
• 学校目前没有游乐场，或者游乐场将在未来几年内需要被拆除，因为它将不再符合加拿大标准协会（CSA）的游乐场标准

政府还明确提出了其他支持性标准（即游乐场必须满足其中一个或多个标准）：

• 游乐场在学校的体育课程中起到重要作用
• 现有的游乐场不适合学校的当前年级配置
• 现有的游乐场对学校的学生数量来说太小
• 学校正在进行学生营养计划

On Oct. 24, the Government of Alberta announced a pilot program primarily for playgrounds that are aging and in need of replacement. School boards were asked to submit a list of five playgrounds that met a list of criteria (see below).

The Calgary Board of Education reviewed schools that conformed to the criteria and submitted the following five schools to the government for consideration under this grant program:

• Taradale School (no existing playground)
• Glenbrook School
• James Short Memorial School
• Abbeydale School
• Catherine Nichols Gunn School

“We know there are more than five schools with the CBE that could benefit from such a program, but we appreciate this measure by the Alberta government to cover the cost of some much-needed playground renewals,” said Dany Breton, Superintendent of Facilities and Environmental Services.”

As soon as the Government of Alberta announces which schools will be provided with funding under this program, the CBE will communicate this exciting information.

Playground Replacement Criteria

• School has a kindergarten to Grade 6 component
• School was not part of the recent playground announcements. The complete list of approved projects can be found at https://education.alberta.ca/school-infrastructure/current-school-projects
• Playground has not received any other government grants such as the Community Facility Enhancement Program grant
• Funding will not be used to reimburse previous expenditures on playground projects
• School does not currently have a playground or the playground will need to be removed within the next few years because it will no longer meet the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) playground standards

Additional supporting criteria were identified by the government as follows (i.e. a playground must meet one or more of these criteria):

• Playground plays an integral part in the physical education program at the school
• Current playground is not suitable for the current grade configuration of the school
• Current playground is too small for the number of students in the schools
• The school has a nutrition program in place for students
