A public meeting takes place tonight in MacGregor presenting a different concept for playgrounds for children. Pine Creek School Division board chair Diedrich Toews explains:

"We're having a meeting in MacGregor on Natural Playgrounds," says Toews." It starts at 7:00 pm. It's in the MacGregor Elementary School. We're having presentations that tell us how to create a natural playground. It's an interesting concept because when I gave my children a gift, they very often played with the box."

Diedrich says whenever new play structures have been put up, the children seemed to find other things to play with. The natural playground utilizes hills, rocks, logs, and tubes for the children. He notes they seem to like using their imaginations when they play, and adds this alternative facilitates that.
