Kids in the Chemainus neighbourhood impacted by a strata bylaw prohibiting street play received a big surprise Wednesday afternoon.

A Canadian Tire truck rolled into the Artisan Gardens subdivision, stocked with toys, games and inflatable pools for the 11 kids in the neighbourhood to enjoy in their yards since street play is banned.

香蕉视频直播淪ummer香蕉视频直播檚 long when you香蕉视频直播檙e a kid. At least having these toys they can still have some fun in their backyard and take their minds off they香蕉视频直播檙e not allowed in the street.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淛ust hearing about the incident, the main store contacted us and wanted to make sure something was done,香蕉视频直播� added cashier Steph Wise, who went along with Bridger to make the deliveries.

Wise made the announcement about all the goods to the attentive kids.

香蕉视频直播淲e brought you guys some stuff so you can play in your backyards since you can香蕉视频直播檛 play in the streets for safety reasons,香蕉视频直播� she declared.

There香蕉视频直播檚 only one teenager among the neighbourhood group and the rest of the children are 10 or younger. They were very excited - and so were the parents - to see the variety of gifts for the kids.

香蕉视频直播淚t was pretty emotional,香蕉视频直播� said parent Crystal Clarke. 香蕉视频直播淚 can香蕉视频直播檛 believe it. I香蕉视频直播檓 so thankful. It香蕉视频直播檚 amazing.香蕉视频直播�

The strata board of the complex voted 15-4 in late June in favour of a roadways bylaw to ban kids香蕉视频直播� street play, 香蕉视频直播渋ncluding hockey, baseball, basketball, skateboarding, chalk artistry, bicycling or other sports and recreational activities.香蕉视频直播�

The edict caused an immediate furor and news spread around the world denouncing the action.

Parents vowed to defy the order and Dylan Howard said it香蕉视频直播檚 been status quo since then.

No action has been taken when kids have been riding their bikes along the quiet roadway to visit or play with other kids.

Howard said the strata council recently had a long meeting, but nothing was announced to the residents about what transpired.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檒l assume something was at least said,香蕉视频直播� he reasoned.
