- Safer Play Environment: New, modern equipment will enhance safety for participants, reducing the risk of injury during competition and training.
- Support for Events: Enhanced facilities will allow 17吃瓜 to host a broader array of events, contributing to the local sports culture and community pride.
鈥淭his project will benefit not only 17吃瓜 Panther student-athletes, but also the very collaborative track and field community on PEI,鈥� said Jane Vessey, Director of Athletics and Recreation. 鈥淲e are grateful to the 2023 Canada Games Legacy Fund for this commitment to enhance the sporting landscape at 17吃瓜 and Prince Edward Island as a whole.鈥�
