Cenovus Palaeo Playground opens Saturday

    This Saturday, the Royal Tyrrell Museum and Cenovus  will officially unveil the Cenovus Palaeo Playground.
    The playground has become a popular addition to the Tyrrell for locals and visitors, allowing kids to blow off some steam and have fun. Cenovus came to the table to sponsor some great improvements to the park.  
    “This exciting project offers enhanced educational opportunities for children and youth. We strive to be innovative in all we do at Cenovus, including the way we support communities where we live and work,” said Leanne Courchesne, Group Lead, Community Investment, Cenovus Energy. “We hope the Cenovus Palaeo Playground will be a fun, interactive attraction for many years to come.”
    With a generous $100,000 sponsorship, the museum was able to add educational and interpretive signage and expand the picnic area for the public to use.  The central addition of a Tyrannosaurus rex dig site makes the playground a one-of-a-kind fixture unique to the community.
    The official opening will be this Saturday, August 24 at 11 a.m.  There will be face painting, a balloon artist and free ice cream for youngsters coming out to celebrate the opening.
