Safety is a priority for Northern Edge Sport Association, and the trees have become a safety issue. The trees have been removed, and NESA will be offering a firewood fundraiser to help recover the cost of the tree removal. Please note that NESA is covering the cost of these upgrades through fundraising and grant writing. If you are interested in purchasing wood or making a donation, please contact Lara Collingwood. Thank you 😊

Did you know…? 🦖
The “dinosaur” HVAC system in the NESA facility actually began its life at Chandler Park Middle School before being moved to our building in 2005. While its exact age is a bit of a mystery, one thing is certain - it’s no longer meeting modern efficiency, air-quality, or programming needs.

Good news… we’re listening!

As part of the NESA Expansion Project (Phase 2), the entire HVAC system will be replaced with a modern, energy-efficient system in 2026, improving comfort, air quality, and sustainability for everyone who uses the facility.
