For all people involved in football, here is your opportunity to tell the City of Vancouver where you want to see more fields and playing locations. The City will be hosting several open houses and we are urging everyone who can to attend these open houses and ask the city to make sure that football can be played on the proposed fields. The open houses will allow attendees to learn more about the proposed synthetic turf fields and to make comments on any aspects of the initiative with Park Board staff.

The open houses are being held in order to gather public input into where the next two fields should be built. The following sites have been shortlisted for consideration:

• Jericho Park (east or west field) – 
  1700 Discovery St.
  
  
• Memorial South Park Oval or NW Field – 
  41st Avenue at Prince Albert
  
  
• Rupert Park North – Rupert at Kitchener
  
  
• Beaconsfield Park all-weather field – 
  Slocan and 17th Ave.

Open houses will be held from 5:00pm to 7:00pm at the following Community Centres:

• September 23: Renfrew Community Centre, 
  2929 E. 22nd Ave.
  
  
• September 24: West Point Grey Community Centre,
  4937 W. 2nd Ave.
