Little Summit Childcare Centre is grateful to have been selected as a recipient of support through the Kal Tire High Five fundraising program.

Thanks to the generosity of community members and the support of Kal Tire, $116 was raised to enhance the centre’s outdoor playground. These funds will help create a more engaging and enjoyable space for children to learn, play, and grow.

Summit Community Services Society values strong community partnerships, and initiatives like the High Five program demonstrate the meaningful impact that local collaboration can have.

We extend our sincere thanks to Kal Tire and everyone who contributed to this initiative.
