A South End field is looking for some renovations. Barrack Field is used by Baptist/King Edward, Saint John High School and many minor organizations for a multitude of activities. Caretakers to the field say the area could be more appealing by transforming it into a green space, and they're looking for a small grant of money to accomplish that transformation. Caretakers for the field hope the renovation will give the kids and families in the south end a nice green space.

The Saint John District Labour Council Looks at First Half of 2009
The Saint John District Labour Council is reflecting on the first half of 2009 with mixed emotions. Pleased to see many trades-people at work but disappointed the second refinery proposal is on the shelf and the future of the rehab center in Grand Bay Westfield is not moving in the direction they would like to see. President Ron Oldfield tells CHSJ News, the look of the building is changing since it wasn't sold privately.
Oldfield adds there are several projects on the horizon to keep trades-people busy including Peel Plaza.
