“At Howe Sound Secondary we pride ourselves on creating a safe environment for students to truly be themselves, feel comfortable and connect with peers. As 90% of 撸奶社区students will go to high school at HSS, the revitalization of the school’s courtyard is a must,” reads the fundraiser release.
“We want the students to be able to enjoy a beautiful space outside, covered from rain or sun and surrounded by plants to promote mental health and connection.”
The Eventbrite page says the goal is to reach $60,000, some of which they hope to receive through grants from the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation and the 撸奶社区Youth Council. Additionally, all donations greater than $50 will receive a tax receipt.
According to the release, when completed, the courtyard would be available to rent by the public. Progress is already underway on the revitalization as well.
“So far, the painting of a mural is in progress and the garden beds have been prepped for planting.”
