About the Project
Waabishka ma’iingan is a safe play space for neurodivergent children to play, explore, and have fun. This project will use natural and recycled safe materials to create safe supportive settings in the community where these parents/guardians can sit and enjoy watching their children play and explore nature on their own First Nation.
