The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) is proposing a project. The proposed project is to build a concrete pad for the purpose of creating an outdoor workout area to be used by Royal Military College (RMC) students. The size of the concrete pad will be 80 feet x 50 feet. The project construction is projected to last up to 2 weeks with multi-year usage and minimal maintenance of the concrete pad required. Sea cans will be placed on the pad for storage of gym equipment.
