TAXANDRIA SOCCER FIELDS
In February 2006, the Taxandria Falcons Soccer Club lost its home. The sale of The Taxandria Community Centre resulted in the loss of two of the three soccer pitches we used, as well as our change rooms, showers, and washrooms. Since that time, the Soccer Club has partnered with the Township of Warwick to build a new soccer complex. Warwick, with financial support from Lambton Shores, has purchased 10.7 acres of land, which includes the one remaining soccer pitch. The Soccer Club has been busy over the past eighteen months raising funds for the development of three new soccer pitches and a parking lot. We received a $56,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Donations from Community Foundations, businesses, service clubs, and our own members have raised an additional $100,000. Thanks to many hours of volunteering by many members, we have succeeded in building and seeding the three new pitches. The club is now in the process raising funds to build a clubhouse. Please see the fundraising letter for more information. Click on the link below or on the "What's New" button.

Since the comments above were written, fundraising has continued, the new clubhouse is under construction and backstops have been installed. Look under the "What's New" button for some new photos of the clubhouse in process [photos to be posted soon].
