Playgrounds
All Playgrounds across the Renfrew County Catholic School Boards are important to us. Playgrounds at all RCCDSB sites are inspected monthly and annually by a Canadian Certified Playground Inspector. All monthly inspections are in the form of a written inspection report. All annual inspections are a more comprehensive audit in the form of a written inspection report as well. All monthly reports are available upon request. Annual reports will be posted on this page.
If you have any questions regarding the playgrounds at any individual site or wish to report a deficiency, please contact the Canadian Certified Playground Inspector listed below.
