St Clair breaks ground on sports park

St Clair College has started construction on its long-anticipated sports park. Laura Walker, President of the college’s Student Athletic Association, told the Windsor Starthat students have been asking for upgraded recreational facilities for the last decade, and that they recently approved a fee protocol that will contribute $13M to the project. Additionally, the Student Athletic Association will chip in $1M, with the remaining funds coming from private donors. The Windsor Star reports that the $21.5M facility will feature a soccer stadium with seating capacity for 1,500 spectators, press box, and jumbotron; an outdoor sand volleyball complex; ladies softball diamond with capacity for 400 spectators; and indoor tennis courts. Windsor Star (ON)
