Healthi Kids advocates for a playable city
Healthi Kids' PlayROCs campaign, which advocates for safe, accessible play areas, presented 624 postcards to Rochester's City Council Nov. 15 sharing residents' visions of play.
"Every child in the city has the right to safe and accessible places to walk, bike and play in their neighborhood," Healthi Kids' Policy and Research Associate Jenn Beideman told City Council.
Nov. 17, Healthi Kids and its Play-BEST Team were also among those honored by the Community Design Center of Rochester for efforts to improve our built environment.
