- Canada
Participation in soccer within the greater Kingston area has grown exponentially in recent years, but there has not been a corresponding increase in the number of available soccer fields. As a result, the fields are severely overused and in very poor condition. Clubs will have to limit enrollment in soccer because of the shortage of fields.
We the undersigned citizens of Kingston hereby petition the City to now recognize that soccer has the highest level of participation of any other sport in Canada, that within the City the number of registered participants this year has grown to around 5000 youth and 1500 adults, that as a result many of the current facilities are now significantly overused and are in poor condition, and that the City will therefore commit to immediately:
a) work with the soccer, sports, recreation and business communities to expand and improve the soccer facilities in Kingston,
b) assign the highest priority to the sport and the necessary budget to ensure the facilities are comparable with the best in the region, and
c) develop and maintain a continuous five year plan to support the growth and development of the sport.
