It鈥檚 going to be more than just change rooms for the proposed new Rutland fieldhouse.
In a statement by the City of 琉璃神社, the information session will have city and CORE representatives on hand to answer questions on the new fieldhouse, which will replace the current older building.
鈥淭he current building is in poor condition and doesn鈥檛 meet our city鈥檚 user group needs,鈥� said Sandra Kochan, partnership manager. 鈥淭his partnership with CORE will provide a much needed revitalization of the space, and make it a true multi-sport hub for adult and youth sport programs, education, events and tournaments.鈥�

鈥淐ORE represents eight different sport organizations who will make the Rutland Recreation Park fieldhouse their home,鈥� said Doug Manning, CORE president. 鈥淭he facility will be a home for U13 multi-sport programs, a variety of adult field sports, and field sport tournaments for all ages.鈥�
In October, 2018, CORE submitted a proposal to the City of 琉璃神社 to raise money to build and operate a new fieldhouse in Rutland Recreation Park. CORE and the City of 琉璃神社 are now in the final stages of the process.
The session is intended to inform nearby residents, property owners and park users of the proposed plans.
