The Manitoba Summer Games are approaching fast, and things are ramping up!
As part of this, The 2024 Manitoba Games Host Committee in Dauphin proudly announced the upcoming reconstruction of the outdoor athletics facility at the Dauphin Regional Comprehensive Secondary School
The new outdoor athletic track and field facility will replace the aging infrastructure and will feature a modern rubberized track.
These renovations will also add a versatile 100’ x 60’ multi-sport pad suitable for various athletic activities, and according to Host Society co-chair Clayton Swanton, some much-needed electrical upgrades.
"We also were able to partner with Hydro, and we'll be able to run Hydro to our tower. So, right now they're running an extension cord from the high school for every Clippers football game which is crazy. that will also allow us to control the timing system that we are also required to have for the games"
This $1.1 million project is funded by many partners, including the province, the school division, sports Manitoba, and the Dauphin and District Community Foundation.
The lasting legacy that these upgrades offer could inspire all sorts of new groups, events, and competitions to take place here in the city of Dauphin.
