The front campus serves a variety of functions ranging from ceremonial to softball to soccer. Grounds staff are hard pressed to turn the field from a skating rink into a lush green field suitable for graduands, their photo happy families, and soccer players. This year we decided to approach things differently by laying sod as opposed to seeding. We did this in order to mitigate our weed problems and get a fresh start on the growing season. We will be watering during the day with impact sprinklers and during the evening with our newly installed automatic irrigation system.
Maintenance includes removal of bills and graffiti and changing of waste receptacles.
Flower Beds A combination of perennials and annuals are planted and maintained. Each year Grounds Services ensures a colourful, vibrant campus. Convocation ceremonies climax our spring burst of annual plantings. We appreciate and encourage your comments. Spring produces a myriad of activities from the familiar front campus re-seeding to planting of annuals.
