Manitoba's First Sports Field Training Day!
This full day industry event brings together professional sports field maintainers across a variety of municipalities and association to solve common challenges, network with others in the industry, and to check out all the latest equipment, tools, products and services available for sports field technicians. As a sports field industry vendor / supplier, we rely on your assistance to help in educating those for best practices and in understanding the maintenance resources available to them to ensure better and safer sports fields.
Our attendees are primarily operators, technicians, practitioners that use the industries equipment, tools, products and services for field maintenance. We also include supervisors & managers within municipalities and associations. Our audience learns best through demonstration so we include a variety for best learning. The more we can “show” best maintenance practices, the better for all.
This event is brought to you by Recreation Manitoba and Baseball Manitoba in partnership with Sports Turf Canada.
