1) Although District 2 school board has over 16,000 students and 38 schools there are no sports tracks available at any of the schools. Our students need and deserve a sports track. 2) Greater Moncton intends to host a major track & field event in 2012 and 2013. The new fields will be utilized for the event and the facilities will also help Moncton secure other contracts to host sports events in the future.
3) Amateur sports organizations have a difficult time securing safe playing fields in
Greater Moncton. The addition of the new artificial turf will ensure that more teams have greater access to better facilities. The project needs financial support from the city of Moncton and the province of New Brunswick in order to be successful. On behalf of the students and amateur sports participants, we sincerely hope you will choose to assis this worthy project.

I honestly never thought we would see this kind of energy for the fields but here we are and it is just wild to think about how many people actually care about getting these kids a place to run. My phone has been buzzing constantly with notifications and I keep trying to get back to everyone while I juggle my actual day job and honestly it is just so cool to see the momentum building like this.

Build it. Bernice Mac needs this bad. Moncton has the athletes we just need the space for them to actually train.
My kids play soccer and it is always a nightmare trying to find a field that isnt just mud. Artificial turf would be a huge deal for all the local teams.

About time we got some decent facilities in this city. Every other town has a track but we are stuck with nothing. Lets get this done.
