The Rotary Club of Ladner generated $20,000 through its 11th annual calendar sales project, proceeds that will support the new Rotary Club of Ladner splash park in Ladner's Memorial Park.
The $600,000 project, a partnership with the Corporation of Delta, is scheduled to open this summer.
John Germ, the international president of the 1.2-million-member Rotary International, joined Delta council members, senior municipal staff and members of the Rotary Club of Ladner at the project site earlier this month.
Also benefitting from calendar sales were Delta Life Skills and Ladner Elementary parents' advisory committee, which sold calendars on a 50/50 revenue split basis.
Rotary Club of Ladner president Walt Hayward said the club entered a partnership with the Corporation of Delta and has received corporate sponsorships and donations from individuals over the past year to pay for the project.
It will replace the almost 30-year-old water play area originally sponsored by Kinsmen and the municipality.
