| Central Alberta Buccaneers in action at MEGlobal Athletic Park |
The group, which operates and oversees
events at MEGlobal Athletic Park, held its Annual General Meeting
last night. They shared many of the facility's highlights from the past 12
months and set the stage for more exciting things to come.
If you're not familiar with the facility, check out this video from their new and improved website (It's a great video despite my cameo lol)
Among the event highlights from last year…
- A number of improvements to the park were made including new sidewalks, landscaping, fencing and storage, new soccer nets, and improved access to the adjacent grass practice field
- Two midget football teams called MEGlobal Athletic Park home for their 2013 seasons
- In May, the park hosted a regional high school soccer tournament for the first time
- The U of C Dinos hosted another successful camp for minor football players in June
- The Central Alberta Buccaneers of the Alberta Football League used the park as their home for a second year
- Central Alberta Field Lacrosse started up two teams that called MEGlobal Athletic Park “home”
- “Football Day in Lacombe” in September was highlighted by generous donations from Richard Pioneer ($50,000), Lacombe Rotary Club ($15,000) and another $25,000 from the Gord Bamford Foundation, boosting their total donations to the park to $75,000
- In November, the park was the setting as Lacombe residents gathered to set the new world record for the largest human Christmas tree
