TURF REFIT OF THE KILSYTH DERBY ARENA

Comments

#1

An indoor turf field would be a huge win for the community. I would love to see an indoor field where people can play soccer and ultimate Frisbee. We could really use more options for field sports, especially in the winter.

Matt Langeman (Owen Sound, 2023-05-16)

My kids and family would use this facility.

We need an indoor athletic turf multi use facility, to fill the gap in Owen Sound.

It would be great to have a year-round turf facility in the area.

Michelle Roebuck (Shallow Lake, 2023-05-16)

My son plays lacrosse and would benefit from a year-round team instead of driving down to Toronto to join another team. His friends also play soccer and there are multiple sports in our area that would benefit from youth being involved in sports other than hockey in our area.

Nancy Law (Owen Sound, 2023-05-16)

Having access to a year round turf field will allow our youth the chance to keep up with the larger city’s in soccer.

I'm signing this petition because this would be an amazing opportunity for the town and children to have another option for practices and all year round sports! I am a coach with the Owen Sound Soccer Association and this would help grow our sports programs!

Jessica Wong (Owen Sound, 2023-05-16)

This isn’t what the people want. It’s what the people need. Woooooo

Travis Gibbons (Owen Sound, 2023-05-16)

I believe this facility needs to be revitalized and this seems like it could have a positive impact on the community of Kilsyth

An indoor turf is something this area is lacking

Kyle Thompson (Owen Sound , 2023-05-16)

For my kids

April Huber (Kemble, 2023-05-16)

#39

An indoor turf facility will allow year round training ability for my son’s rep soccer teams and will allow them to better compete with city teams. This will encourage more involvement in the sport.

Andrea Traynor (Meaford, 2023-05-16)

#41

We need this in our region, it would be used minimum 5 nights a week, would help keep kids active and improving.

Mike Sarvia (Owen sound, 2023-05-17)

#42

Soccer is a passion for my entire family. Kids from our area have to drive 2 hours for a turf facility. We should have something a little more local. We can not compete with the larger communities when it comes to training prior to the start of the season. This will benefit not only soccer, but all summer sports!

Mercedes Mitchell (Owen Sound, 2023-05-17)

#44

I would like to see a turf facility help grow sport in our community.

Oliver Clark (Owen Sound, 2023-05-17)

#53

This would be a great opportunity for the kids in our community. Lacrosse has been an important sport for this community and having a facility available all year would allow the youth to better their skills year round.

Nancy McCaskill (Owen Sound, 2023-05-17)

#55

My daughter plays field lax and every year we are at a disadvantage at provincials because we play on turf but we don’t have any turf fields to play on. And it’s a different game on turf. This would benefit our teams plus many other sports within our community.

Danielle Evans-Grahame (Owen Sound, 2023-05-17)

#57

Our local athletes travel extensively to access indoor facilities in the "off" season. Having the opportunity to continue training in our community greatly impacts the growth of our athletes.

Stephanie Sollazzo (Owen Sound, 2023-05-17)

I play lacrosse and so do my kids. Would be awesome to see turf in this arena as the floor is so slippery when used for indoor sports.

Nick Quaid (Hepworth , 2023-05-17)

#63

I believe in continuing physical activity opportunities during the winter months outside of a an ice rink.

Mike Law (Owen Sound, 2023-05-17)

Would be great to see this arena turned into a more functional space. Multiple sports teams would benefit tremendously from having something like this in the municipality!!

Ryan Whitney (Georgian Bluffs, 2023-05-17)

#73

I grew up in Kilsyth and my parents live there still. I would love to see the arena used more for recreational sports. I have two young children who are 5 & 4. My son plays soccer outdoors, but it would be amazing to have access to indoor soccer during the winter months or somewhere to train as he grows. This would be of huge benefit to our community.

Amy Harbinson (Owen Sound, 2023-05-17)

#75

Great idea! Refit with turf will allow for year round development and opportunity to grow the game in our community

Dawn Gateman (Shallow Lake, 2023-05-17)

This refit allows Kilsyth and the surrounding communities to have a small multisport complex throughout the year (especially in the winter). It is long needed in Bruce/Grey counties, and I hope Martin continues to move forward with this project and it comes to fruition.

Jason Simons (Port Elgin, 2023-05-18)

#120

More opportunities needed for soccer growth in Grey & Bruce counties

Andreas Derksen (Kincardine, 2023-05-18)

The closest indoor field we have is in listowel and that field is tiny. A nice big field where we can have two indoor games at once would be amazing.

Alex Friesen (Walkerton , 2023-05-18)

I think it’s good for the community

Jesse Hassard (Chatsworth , 2023-05-18)

I am a Mother of two boys who are heavily involved in sports and would happily benefit from an indoor sports facility to practice skills all year long.

Amanda Hope (Owen Sound , 2023-05-19)

#134

I believe this will be of great benefit to local sports community. I am the President of Owen Sound Minor Soccer and we have been looking at options for an indoor facility for many years. This would be a good fit. Ontario Sports Development says they need 40 hours a week to break even of bookings. I would say minor soccer can provide 15 hours a week easily and on top of that Adult Soccer as well. I am also a Georgian Bluffs resident on Concession 3 Derby. Minor and field lacrosse and other local groups would definitely use the facility.

Mark Perry (Owen Sound, 2023-05-19)

The area needs this!

Chris Bennett (Owen Sound, 2023-05-19)

In our area, athletes of all ages lack the opportunity to train and develop for field sports during the late fall, winter, and early spring when fields are unable to be used due to outdoor conditions. If we want success for our athletes when competing against larger cities that have indoor turf facilities and at the highest level in Ontario, then we need to have indoor turf facilities to train year round to have our athletes develop at the same rate. Currently our athletes have a smaller time frame to develop compared to other places in Ontario due to the difference in training times and opportunites.
A turf facilicty would also allow for more sports and recreational opportunites for community members. It would show that our community promotes and fosters healthy and active lifestyles by providing facilities for community members to go. Having groups of people together and enjoying being active also builds and strengthens community.

Sandra Henry (Kemble, 2023-05-20)

I think this is a great initiative and I think have turf fields to promote year around soccer (or other sports) is crucial to bring skill level of our rural communities up!
