This Week, Canada AM ran 2-piece series about the community of Attawapiskat, Ontario, a community in crisis.
I’m posting the links to the videos here. I hope that you’ll agree – even in a situation as bleak as the one in Attawapiskat, we can all make a difference. And perhaps, it will be a 12-year old that convinces us of that fact.
Part 1: Profiling the Attawapiskat Community
Part 2: A Playground in Attawapiskat
Wes: “Isn’t one million dollars a hundred thousand times ten?”
Dad: “yes”
Wes: “so if I raise a millions dollars this year, we can build 10 playgrounds this year”
Dad: “Ummm… yeah…(?)”
Wes: “Cool! Then let’s do that”
Dad: “Really?”
Wes: “why not.”
Dad: (Because Dad didn’t have a “why not” answer): “Ok, let’s do that”

The “Help Wesley Build A Playground In Kashechewan” project will provide a safe, clean playground for children who otherwise would never have the opportunity to play on a “real” play structure.
Wes doesn’t think it’s fair that he can walk to several playgrounds and recreational facilities, while there are kids in Canada who have never even seen a playground.
He is on a mission to “level the playing field” by putting a playground in every Northern community that doesn’t have one.
With your support, his idea to build a playground in Attawapiskat won a 25,000 Pepsi Refresh grant. Now – it’s time to help “Kash”.
With a projected build date of June 2011, kids in Kashechewan will soon be playing on a brand-new play structure.
