Celebrating our Successes
In October 2008, the
Community Table applied
for and received a grant
from Success by 6®
to
purchase an awning for
the Family Centre.
It will be installed
next spring and will
give the CAPC program an
opportunity to add more
outdoor activities
during the spring and
summer, when the
temperature rises.
In the past,
we held our
Table meetings
at Orchard Haven
during CAP-C’s
Bridging the
Generations
program. This type of simple collaboration between two community organizations benefits CFK parents, their children, and the residents of Orchard Haven. The residents enjoy visiting with the children, and the CFK parents have the opportunity to meet while their children are busy playing. This is simple ECD community development at its best.
Pine Park Keremeos
Very early on, Keremeos Table members identified the importance of improving our community’s parks and playgrounds, and decided to make this our first project. With this in mind we began fund-raising for park improvements. We made the decision to start from the ground up, so logically new impact material for playgrounds was the first agenda item. With this in mind we held two pancake breakfasts in September 2005, to raise money and community awareness of the need to improve our parks. We have applied for funding, in partnership with the Village of Keremeos, to Success by 6® for impact material and playground equipment for Keremeos’ Pine Park.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plans
We plan to continue to look for ways to enhance the parks and playgrounds of Keremeos, and to explore the possibility of additional community programming for children from conception to age 6.
Do you have an idea for the Community Table to consider? Please contact us.

spring, and donated its
remaining funds to the

Anima was one of many happy Keremeos children to receive a colorful CFK T-shirt at the 2008 CFK Art Event and T-shirt Giveaway
Amira lovers her T
-shirt too!
Why do kids like to rock back and forth so much? Maybe they know it helps their brain develop.
Learning a new skill with grandpa’s arms around you is fun.
