Construction notice: Exhibition Park Archaeological Field Work

Notice date: April 30, 2026

What’s happening:

We’re completing a Stage 2 Archeological Assessment in Exhibition Park, east of the playground. A work crew will be digging and refilling a series of round pits in the area.

Why:

We’re preparing to install new play equipment in the space and this is a provincially required assessment to check for cultural artifacts.

When:

We’ll begin field work on or around Tuesday, May 5, and we expect work to be completed by Wednesday, May 6 (weather permitting).

Changes during construction:

Trail access: Field work may temporarily impact the trail on the east side of the playground, south of the washroom building.
