The Township of McNab-Braeside is the successful recipient of a $122,000 Capital grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).
This grant will support upgrading the lighting at both the ball diamond and the outdoor rink at the John A. Gillies Recreation Centre.
The news was shared at the municipal meeting of November 7th, where a question was posed- why not light a dark diamond at McNab Central Park instead?
Township Recreation Director Andrea Lamontagne says that although the improvement will generate additional electrical expenses, it is also a source of potential revenue.
Sealed tenders for the LED upgrade are being accepted between until November 24, 2023.
The project must be completed by December 1, 2024.
