The Vernon child centre says the discovery has been 'traumatizing for parents and staff alike.'
Vernon's Maven Lane child centre confirms a group of children were pricked by needles after discovering a "stash of narcotic paraphernalia" hidden in playground equipment.
"So, despite our best efforts, we did not discover the hole and its contents during our safety inspections. Unfortunately, in this instance, the children decided to investigate themselves rather than tell an adult. This led to children being inadvertently poked by needles."Enrolment coordinator Nikki Bond expressed "frustration and regret" in an email to parents.
Maven has employed staff to clean up every morning and contracts a security company to conduct physical surveillance of the grounds seven days a week. Surveillance cameras and night lighting have also been installed.
