A $1.8-million sports field is closer to construction now that the Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board has chosen a contractor.
The project at Holy Names Catholic High School will include a 400 m, six-lane running track and a multi-purpose turf field that can be used for football, soccer, and other outdoor sports.
Worldwide Turf Canada Inc. from Barrie won the bid.
"Coming off an OFSAA football championship win, I'm certain this will be welcome news to the team and the entire Holy Names community," said Trustee Fulvio Valentinis.
Construction will start in the spring, and the field should be ready by September of next year.
It will be paid for through the board's $5.9-million school condition improvement program.
