Ball field renamed after Evan McFarlane

Family and teammates join in unveiling of the new sign

The City passed a naming policy for streets and civic facilities in July 2022. City Staff met and proposed that four recommended names be adopted and civic facilities be renamed.  One of those facilities was the ball field at Gretna Green.  

At a ceremony that took place on July 3rd, the filed was officially renamed as the Evan McFarlane Field.  Evan was good athlete and loved baseball and hockey.  And he was a friend to many and continues to be an inspiration.  Evan was killed tragically in an AV accident in in May 2022 at the age of 14.  

Evan's family, and his friends and former teammates from the Miramichi Twins, joined in the unveiling of the sign that honours his name.
