Not Halloween at Trace Manes field house

The Trace Manes Centennial Recreation Centre is definitely not dressed up for Halloween this year and Ray, the scary looking worker in the hazmat outfit is for real, not a trickster. Ray and his buddies will however have a real treat for users of this handy Leaside field house when they’re finished on or near Monday, November 25, 2013. And here’s the really good news. As the South Bayview Bulldog pleaded earlier this Fall, the centre will have all new washroom facilities when the work is done. Ray is dressed as he is because he and fellow workers are blasting paint off the concrete floor. When that’s done, the floors will be fitted with nice new tiling. It will be the first time in the nearly 47 year history of the centre that users will walk on tiles and not concrete. Ceiling tiles and windows will be replaced as well.  Looking forward to it.
