Castlegar Primary School was
expressed in a letter to city
council last week by Teresa
McGauley, a recreation super-
visor with Regional Recreation
Commission No, 1,

Miss McGauley said she
took a group of children to the
playground “and was amazed to
see all the glass litter strewn
throughout.” She said two
children were cut quite badly”
and the overall atmosphere of
the children was down because

The park was developed by

When the thank-you letter

within 100 feet of it and was
paddling upstream to keep out
of the whirlpool as it opened.

summoned up all his nerve of

pulling with all his might, he

ran the canoe over the boiling

He shot past the whirlpool,
arriving safely about 100 fect
