Letter: Thanks to parks and recreation

By Jeanne Bennett, Columbia Play Project, Vancouver

This is a shoutout to Vancouver Parks and Recreation for their fabulous work in our community this summer. They’ve planned Tuesday and Thursday night “Parties in the Park” in neighborhoods throughout the community. They’re hosting Friday night movies and have camps for kids. The energy and enthusiasm this team displays while working for us is heartwarming, exciting and so very welcome. I am especially thrilled to see so many young people working their first jobs as staff at Vancouver Parks and Rec. Well done!
