Andrew Fleck Child Services, in partnership with Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group and Child and Nature Alliance of Canada, is constructing a multi-purpose iconic building on National Capital Commission (NCC) property, with the goal of promoting children’s play and learning outdoors on a regular and repeated basis.
This building will house three primary functions:
- To mainstream outdoor play through a nature-based licensed early learning and care program
- To convene people, demonstrate emerging best practices, and support increase knowledge and thought leadership on outdoor play in Canada
- To increase the evidence-base and research in the field of outdoor play
