JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Stantec donated $30,000 to the Mississippi Children’s Museum (MCM) in order to support the transformation of LeFleur’s Bluff.
According to museum officials, the funds were used to landscape the central island at the newly paved joint entrance to the LeFleur’s Bluff.

“Our work is rooted in the heart of the communities we serve,” said John McKee, a recent retiree who formerly served as a senior principal at Stantec. “Supporting the LeFleur’s Bluff is more than a project, it’s an opportunity to help create a welcoming space that families, students, and visitors can enjoy for generations.”
Since 2018, the MCM has helped plan and develop LeFleur’s Bluff, which connects the MCM with the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science (MMNS) and surrounding areas. Completed features of the project include an award-winning playground, an outdoor pavilion, a literacy and conservation-themed connector trail, and a 1.2-mile biking and walking path.
“We are incredibly grateful to Stantec for investing in this space and helping us bring it to life,” said Susan Garrard, president of the MCM. “Thanks to their generosity, families entering the LeFleur’s Bluff are now greeted by beautiful native landscaping that sets the tone for learning, discovery, and play.”
