Outdoor Fitness Equipment
Sayward received a grant via the Age-Friendly Community Planning and Project Grant Program – a partnership between the Province and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) – which allowed the community to build an outdoor fitness park for senior residents. This area is located beside the duck pond in H’Kusam Park.
