FALL RIVER:<\/strong> A new fundraiser has just launched to help support the HRM Northern Suburban Track & Turf Field in Fall River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The almost $5 million project will be built at Lockview High School, where the current football field is. Construction is expected to get underway this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the project, the federal government through MP Darrell Samson\u2019s support is providing $1.96 m; the province through MLA and Advanced Education and L\u2019nu Affairs Minister Brian Wong $1.63 M; and from Councillor Cathy Deagle Gammon $1.13 m. HRM\u2019s support is more as they will oversee its operations and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The volunteer committee does have to raise a set amount of $213,000 as well, of which they have raised more than $100,000 as of now. They have a Spring Dance fundraiser coming up April 6 at the Waverley Legion as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of the Spring Dance, the committee has launched a new fundraiser \u2013 done in conjunction with Rafflebox, who does the wildly popular 50\/50 raffles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Track & Turf field project, there will be three draws APRIL, MAY and JUNE from the tickets bought prior to each of those draws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The draws will be done in person at 4 pm at the LWF Hall in Fall River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizers say each new draw will open to purchase tickets 24 hours after previous draw date concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Track & Turf field project will not only provide local community recreational and sport opportunities but will benefit the region and the province during major tournaments and competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
