If West Nipissing wins, officials say the grant would support the revitalization of Field 1 at Goulard Park.

They say it’s a key recreational space for youth leagues, adult teams, and local schools.

The watch party is taking place at the West Nipissing Sports Hall of Fame, 210 Clark Street, on Sunday, May 4.

Everyone is invited with the doors opening at noon.

The live broadcast starts at 1 pm (Sunday).
