Let's build a youth football pitch together in Ottawa
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $2,300 for materials.
🇨🇦 Canada2,501 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,300.
It will serve about 455 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in May and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $300
• Tools hire and delivery: $430
• Materials: $1,570
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Ottawa
