Chilliwack – As of June 1, crews were tearing up the old dilapidated astroturf at Exhibition Field, in preparation for the new turf.
The Valley Huskers just completed their spring camp and hope to start main camp June 22.
Local crews told FVN that the deadline is doable, but could not confirm to a hard finish date.
The original plan was that after the July 1, 2025 Canada Day festivities, crews would swoop in and replace the turf in time for the new football season.
They hit a snag.
The Valley Huskers and Chilliwack Mayor Ken Popove told FVN: There is a product delay some to do with the upcoming FIFA World Cup games. So the plan is to install next summer (2026). Contractors simply could not do all the proposed projects on this current timeline.
