New track and football field for North Grenville District High School Plans for a new asphalt track and football field to complement the $17.3 million North Grenville District High School have been given the green light. Tenders for the project will be issued as early as next week after an agreement on fencing and other issues was reached with the Township of North Grenville to allow the project to proceed, said Jeremy Hobbs, chief information and facilities officer for the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). The new field will support football, soccer, and track and field events.

“This is wonderful news for the North Grenville community,” said Trustee Lisa Swan. “We have a beautiful new school and new athletic facilities that will only make the educational experience better for our students. It will also allow the school to host OFSAA events at which UCDSB students can demonstrate their athletic prowess and also be ambassadors who show other students in the province what a beautiful town Kemptville is.” The Board had planned to install the new track last fall on Board property north of the school and just

west of Riverside Park in Kemptville. However, the township had concerns regarding fencing and signage at the field which have since been resolved. The agreement will see a line of boulders placed along the border between the park and the field, as well as improvements to signage to better fit with the township’s long-term vision for the park, said Hobbs. The UCDSB also plans to build a new asphalt basketball court for Grades 7 and 8 students at the school. The project will be completed by late fall, said Hobbs.
