Build Day is TOMORROW!

Well this is it, go time! Build Day begins at 8am tomorrow, rain or shine (but let's all say a prayer tonight for some shine okay?). If you are volunteering with us tomorrow, thank you so much, it is going to be a great day! If you couldn't make it to volunteer, please join us by watching online at www.ltbk.ca. If you are watching, be sure to sned us a note to cheer us on!

Build Day t-shirts will be available tomorrow, $10 a shirt and are available in adult and child sizes. All proceeds go directly to the playground fund.

If you are a volunteer, don't forget to bring your waiver form, filled out but not signed, with you in the morning. We will have some extra if anyone who hasn't registered arrives, or if anyone forgets.

That's it for now, my next update will have pictures of the new "Twillingate Playground of Memories". Tomorrow is going to be a day we will never forget.

Only 2 Days to Build Day! Equipment has arrived!


It was a very exciting evening as volunteers gathered to unload the playground and fitness park equipment.   A huge thank you to the Twillingate Volunteer Fire Department who came out to help with this task.  Also, a special thanks to Byron Rogers and Derrick Warren who have spent many hours over the last couple weeks preparing the groundwork for Build Day!

3 Sleeps 'til Build Day! We need your help!

Can you believe it? Our Build Day is only days away! It is going to be such an awesome day. Just a few notes to update you all.

- We are in need of some supplies to help make Build Day a success. There is a complete list below, but some items, such as wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes, etc. are needed in large amounts, so please if you can bring one or more do so on Saturday. Ask around to neighbors, families and friends as well, they may not be able to be there on Saturday but can help out in this way. It would be very much appreciated!

- A more complete schedule of events will be posted within the next couple days, but for now here is a quick run down of what is going to happen on Saturday.
  • 8:00am Registration and assignment of tasks, playground build begins.
  • 10:00am Children's activities begin at the ballfield (or stadium is weather is not favorable). Please remember that all children younger than 4 must be accompanied by a caregiver 16 years old or older to participate. The YMCA and Twillingate Recreation Committee have been working together to plan a fun day for the kids, and of course we want as many kids there as possible to open the playground!
  • 11:30am Lunch break begins. Volunteers will be assigned a colored group to make this run smoothly, details to come on Build Day.
  • 1:00pm Playground build resumes.
  • 3:00pm Opening Ceremonies (group photo will be taken before the opening ceremonies).
