East Side Councillor Pushing Artificial Turf Field At Exhibition Park

East side Common Councillor Joe Mott wants to know what it will take to build a field house at Exhibition Park complete with an artificial turf field.

City Manager Pat Woods says you'll need is a well laid out plan that makes economic sense and that will be alot easier to do because of all the work done thus far by the Exhibition Association.

The city says it's willing to contribute three million dollars but only if the federal and provincial governments each chip in the same amount.

According to Woods, the federal and provincial governments will have to be persuaded investing in this project will meet their interests.
