Vermont Park Neighbourhood Association Celebrates Sport and Healthy Living

Waterloo - Earlier this spring, the Vermont Park Neighbourhood Association along with Ecole L’Harmonie and St. Agnes School received a Waterloo Region True Sport grant. The purpose of the grant is to strengthen community through sport and is administered by The Kitchener and Waterloo Community Foundation.

On Saturday, August 27, the VPNA together with the Waterloo Region True Sport program, City of Waterloo and Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, invite the community to an afternoon of fun, sports and healthy food in Vermont Park in order to celebrate sport and healthy living.

“From 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM people can learn about raising gardens at nearby Ecole L’Harmonie,” shares Stephen Svenson, President of the Vermont Park Neighbourhood Association. The initiative is a collaboration between the Association and Patchwork Community Gardens – with funding for the garden coming from TD Friends of the Environment.

From 12:30 PM – 4:00 PM a barbecue featuring healthy food options will run and those in attendance will gather together to play sports in Vermont Park with some of the equipment purchased with the Waterloo Region True Sports grant. Volleyball, badminton, and soccer are on the agenda!

At 4:00 PM the VPNA will be hosting their Annual General Meeting. “All are welcome,” adds Svenson.
