After years of planning, collaboration, and community anticipation, the Steele Athletic Grounds officially opened on October 8th, marking a major milestone for Liverpool Regional High School and the entire South Shore.

Located at 104 College Street in Liverpool, the new facility is now home to the region’s only turf field and rubberized track, giving local athletes the kind of high-quality training environment they’ve never had before. For many, this isn’t just a field, it’s a symbol of opportunity, growth, and pride.

The grand opening felt like a true community celebration. Students, families, coaches, and supporters gathered under bright fall skies to take in the moment. Special guests Premier Tim Houston, Olympian and hometown hero Sarah Mitton, Queens MLA Kim Masland, and Mayor Scott Christian joined the festivities, each sharing in the excitement of what this investment means for youth in the area.

Seeing Sarah Mitton return to celebrate the opening added an emotional highlight. Her presence reminded everyone just how far hard work, local support, and access to proper facilities can take an athlete, and it was inspiring for the young people in attendance to hear from someone who has risen to the world stage.

As shared in our social post, it was an honour to stand alongside community leaders and witness the ribbon-cutting of a facility built to help students challenge themselves, build confidence, and reach their goals. This project represents more than infrastructure; it reflects Steele Auto Group’s continued commitment to supporting healthy, active, and vibrant communities across Nova Scotia.

The Steele Athletic Grounds are officially open, and the story is just beginning, with countless practices, personal bests, and future champions ready to take their first steps on the track.
