Dear David:

I have had several comments made to me about wooden picnic tables in school yards in Edmonton. How they crack, warp, & are unsafe after awhile. Even causing kids and teachers to be injured with slivers & such. As the son of a carpenter, I know about the injuries caused by wood, especially if its not sanded correctly. Now we already have playground equipment in many school yards thats hard plastic & recyclable compounds & built IV durability due II our harsh winters. So why not mandate that all school yard picnic tables Province wide be made of these same materials & eliminate wooden picnic tables altogether?

Elmer's White Glue,

 

Rory
