WEST PLACE FOR SPORT “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language that they understand.” - Nelson Mandela

The future of our only community track is in question.

Where will our children run next year? “When it comes to track and field, we have succeeded in spite of our local facilities, which are poor to non-existent. It is a sad commentary that we don’t have a single safe running track for kids anywhere in .

Enter the project to create the West Vancouver Place for Sport, a renewal and replacement of the crumbling and potholed track and field facilities at West Van Secondary School.”

– Ralph Sultan, MLA

I think we support each other in whatever we want to do, whether it is to try to get the track resurfaced at West Van… or getting Ges to compete.

I do think we are a strong community and support each other in whatever way we can.”
