Project Overview
The Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School project was a comprehensive removal and re-install endeavor for the Halton Catholic District School Board. This project underscores our dedication to delivering state-of-the-art sports facilities while incorporating sustainable practices. We originally built and installed the original synthetic turf field in 2010, and after 14 years, the synthetic turf had reached the end of its life cycle. Our sustainable sports field reclamation initiative ensured the old turf was repurposed, keeping it out of landfills.
