Media release: The 2014 World's Largest Sandbox
OTTAWA, June 4, 2014 /CNW/ - Canada's leaders are playing in the sand to make a better life for the next generation. In an effort to raise awareness about The Sandbox Project, several Canadian MPs, media personalities, NGOs and business leaders were building sand castles in the world's largest sandbox on Sparks Street in Ottawa on Wednesday.
"With a specific focus on injury prevention, mental health, growing healthy bodies and the environment, The Sandbox Project is working hard to improve child and youth health in Canada," says Dr. Christine Hampson, President & CEO of The Sandbox Project. "We are facing an unprecedented future where our children have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. Quite simply, this is unacceptable."
