Dear Members of the UPEI Community,

I continue to be appreciative to our community—both on- and off-campus—for ongoing engagement and feedback on the development of a high-performance training facility at the UPEI Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre.

This facility is made possible through the redeployment of 3,146 square feet of space from its current use as squash courts and “Studio One” (a flexible exercise space).
