In a November 18 press release posted first in Cramahe Now the committee overseeing the construction of a new community track and field facility has announced its plans -
"A motion to establish a fund-raising committee to raise $850,000 by May 2011 was passed.
This motion was unanimous and will begin the process of seeing a 6-lane, all-weather track facility at the East Northumberland Secondary School in Brighton, which will include a new playing field, with lights, that will be used by both the school and community.
The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board is committed to the project to the tune of $140,000 and the Municipality of Brighton (November 17) also announced they have finalized details of a Joint Use agreement with the Board, clearing the final hurdle, enabling this partnership to work together to help this project become a reality."
In a follow up email, teacher, Tim Larry stated, "We have $144,000 now.
The Municipality of Brighton has agreed to write grant applications and we will be asking for money at some point- as we will from neighboring Municipalities.
The fundraising committee will need to decide when and how much to request from each municipality."
Most elementary students from Cramahe Township advance to ENSS for their secondary school education.
