More about the Grants

On June 25, 2005 Phase I of the Heritage Green Sports Park had it’s official ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony. Thanks to the efforts of a dedicated group of citizens, members of the former Study Group Lynne Gillot, Len Gray, William McFarland, Federico Perez, Michael Prendergast, Len Tomini and Debbie Cardi and financial support of Newalta Industrial Services Inc., everyone can now benefit from this much longed for and needed park.

Phase II of the Heritage Green Sports Park. which includes a passive use park with trails and sitting areas to compliment the Heritage Green Sports Parkis expected to be completed by 2010.
