Sarah Beckett Memorial Playground - Grand Opening

“A Life that Made a Difference”

The Sarah Beckett Memorial Playground officially opened on August 24^th, 2019.

Built in memory of 32-year-old RCMP Constable, Sarah Beckett, who was killed by a drunk driver in the line of duty on April 5, 2016 the new playground is a special place for families to come together.

The Rotary Club of West Shore spent 2019 fundraising to meet the $250,000 goal to build the playground. Funds came from the Club’s Annual Lobster Fest and BBQ’s at different events and from the Community who graciously donated tens of thousands of dollars through the Buy A Brick Campaign.

We are proud of the community for coming together to create this space to remember Sarah’s sacrifice.

2019 Lobsterfest Raises $20,000

This years sold out Lobsterfest was a huge success! Almost 250 people joined together at the Legion to enjoy a good old fashion East Coast Kitchen party. Friends new and old enjoyed a delicious, fresh Lobster dinner followed by an action packed dessert auction where thousands of dollars were raised auctioning off cakes & desserts from local bakeries. A few brave souls participated in the Screeching In Ceremony to become honorary Nefoundandlanders!

All of the money raised throughout the evening totaled $20,000 which will all be donated to the Sarah Beckett Memorial Playground at City Centre Park.
