South Delta Secondary is just months away from opening its beautiful outdoor amphitheatre space, and it got one step closer last week through a sizable donation from the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen.
"Our Rotary club is proud to support this incredible project," says Shane Todhunter of the $88,500 donation to help move the Heart of Tsawwassen initiative forward.
"This is going to be a great, functional outdoor space for both students and the community that we hope will become the focal point of the school's exterior for generations to come," says Todhunter, one of Rotary's champions behind the fundraising efforts.
The funds raised are for a much-needed improvement at the south-west community entrance to SDSS, covering costs of concrete, a new canopy and the landscape design.
Once completed, the functional outdoor area will feature comfortable timber benches, a stone-laden patio, a state-of-the art canopy, updated foliage and a tiered seating half-circle that creates an amphitheater environment.
On hand to receive the donation from Todhunter and fellow Rotarians Jeff Peters, Wayne Connorton and Laura Dixon was Frank Geyer, director of facilities and planning for the Delta school district.
