Schoolyard quality makes a difference to activity levels and learning opportunities. This is a research project on schoolyard quality and inequality in Ontario
This is a great opportunity to get a school garden started.
At Jumpstart, we believe every kid across Canada should have the opportunity to be involved in sport and play! We are very proud that as part of our #InclusivePlayProject we have committed to building an accessible #JumpstartPlayground in every province and territory.

Playground markings go beyond the traditional four square and hopscotch! @HuntingtonRidg1 @PeelSchools Squiggly lines, shapes, Venn diagrams, grids, a compass, a fraction circle, number lines.....Great tools for #mathoutdoors and recess alike. @SchoolyardCount
