The Elmwood Track & Field Upgrade Project – a tremendous upgrade for our community
We are proud to announce that we have completed the final payment for the Track and Field upgrade project. The track was the first track to utilize a crumb rubber/asphalt mixture and has held up very well. The crumb rubber came from over 1000 used tires so was a great recycling initiative.
It was great to be able to get the project done in one phase and the final bridge financing by the Division was greatly appreciated. Elmwood High School was proud to be the 3rd largest funder of the project and we are very appreciative of all the funding support we received for this $356,000 project. Thank you to:
- The Government of Canada RInC Funding
- The Province of Manitoba
- Elmwood High School
- The Manitoba Community Services Council
- The City of Winnipeg CIGP Grant
- The Children’s Heritage Fund
- The Waste Reduction and Pollution Prevention Grant
- Manitoba Hydro
- Tire Stewardship Manitoba
- Elmwood Parent Council
- The Winnipeg School Division
The help in initial planning support from Hilderman, Thomas, Frank and Cram Landscape Architects and Maple Leaf Construction was also greatly appreciated.

It's great to see the track being used by Elmwood Phys. Ed. Students, our Track and Cross Country teams, the Winnipeg School Division, surrounding schools, community members, and even the Manitoba Cross Country Ski team. The track was built to accommodate wheelchair access and has an area for wheelchair athletes to be off of the track when they are not racing or training and it is great to see it being used by our students and community members in wheelchairs.
