The Friends of the Helen Schuler Nature Centre Society has been selected as part of the Lowe's Canada Heroes campaign.

Lowe’s Lethbridge will be collecting donations on our behalf throughout the month of September in support of a Loose Parts Playground at the Nature Centre!

Lowe’s will collect donations of $2, $5, or $10 by asking customers at check-out if they would like to contribute. Lowe’s Canada will match 50% of all customer donations up to a maximum of $2,000 per store.

What are we fundraising for?

A Loose Parts Playground at the Helen Schuler Nature Centre.

What is a Loose-Parts Playground?

“Loose-Parts” is a term that refers to any material that can be moved, carried, stacked, or altered.

A Loose-Parts Playground is a name for an open-ended, self-directed and imaginative play area. Unlike “normal” playgrounds or most toys, Loose-Parts Playgrounds are open ended and reusable in an infinite number of ways depending on the child's needs for development! Learn more.
