Six Abbotsford schools will receive new playground equipment or have their existing equipment repaired.
The schools qualify for $50,000 each from the $8 million in capital funding recently announced by the provincial government to fund playgrounds across B.C.
The local schools qualifying for the first release of capital funding are: the Sumas Mountain campus of Abbotsford School of Integrated Arts and Howe, W.A. Fraser, Eugene Reimer, Abbotsford and Clayburn middle schools.
