The B.C. government is spending $3.3 million to repair and replace playgrounds at 80 more schools across B.C., as part of an $8 million program launched two years ago.
Under the new program the government will provide $25,000 for repairs to existing playgrounds; $50,000 for enhancing minimal equipment; and $50,000 for replacement of existing equipment, Education Minister George Abbott announced Thursday.
