FALL RIVER: The next step in the All-Weather Turf Field at Lockview High becoming a reality took place recently.

The official ground breaking ceremony for the almost $5 million project which saw each level of government contribute and the community pitch in as well.

Several guest speakers spoke at the ground breaking, held Dec. 8 in snowy weather.

The project has been approved for an additional $2.3 million from HRM because costs have increased since work on the project began after it was announced in June 2023.
