The Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board (HPCDSB) is pleased to announce that work has begun to replace the track and enhance the infield playing surface at St. Anne’s Catholic Secondary School in Clinton.
The original track has served the school community well over the past 25 years.
This facility is used by schools throughout the Huron-Perth district, as well as the community.
“This project represents a significant investment by the board for St. Anne’s, Huron-Perth athletics, and the County of Huron,” said Chris N. Roehrig, Director of Education, HPCDSB.
“We are proud to be a strong community partner.”
This project will replace the existing track with new asphalt including a rubberized surface coating.
Drainage issues for the soccer, rugby, and field hockey pitch will be addressed at the same time.
In conjunction with the track upgrade, a new field house will be constructed to properly store the equipment.
“We are very excited for the St. Anne’s track rebuild happening this summer,” said Laura Blackmore, Vice-Principal, St. Anne’s.
“By investing in the track rebuild and inner field upgrade, future generations will have access to high level training facilities, which will enable rural athletes to compete and find success at the provincial or national level.”
The track is used by students across Huron and surrounding counties. Physical Education classes, elementary regional track meets, Huron-Perth athletics, invitational track meets as well as local organizations have also enjoyed the benefits of this facility.
Members of the community are also seen daily, walking the track to improve their health and fitness.
The track rebuild is scheduled to be completed by fall 2024.
