Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the burden it has had on recreation opportunities, Play Works has decided to put a hold on all Youth Friendly Community applications until 2022.
We want to thank everyone who has helped us with this application so far and assure you that any information we have collected will still be eligible when we apply next year. For those still interested in helping, we will update you as soon as applications open for 2022.
Thanks again for your commitment to this community!
