The ribbon has been cut to Winkler's new handicap accessible playground.

Jodi Weatherup and four other students from Red River College all raised $60 000 in only a year and a half to build it.


Crystal Toews was another student that worked on the project.

 

She says the idea was born in January 2005 when they realized kids with disabilities could not really enjoy playgrounds like the rest of the kids.


The name for the playground Happyland came from their committee name HAP, Handicap Accessible Playground, and the simple fact they wanted to make kids happy.
