Let Them Be Kids

LET THEM BE KIDS
Let Them Be Kids is all volunteer non-profit organization created to build community capacity on the grassroots level, while building playgrounds, skate parks and fitness parks across Canada. These projects leave a legacy of community members who are inspired and better equipped to lay a strong foundation for a brighter tomorrow.


The Prince Charles Trenton Playground Project is a school and community based initiative to build the first accessible and inclusive playground in our city. The intention of this venture is provide a much needed playground while giving the community an opportunity to come together to make a positive change for ALL our children. The playground is widely used by the students of this school and extensively by the community after school, on weekends and during summer holidays. Please help us anyway you can as we come together as one to make this long time dream a reality!
