Pauline Johnson Collegiate is a composite high school in Brantford, Ontario with departments specializing in both vocational and collegiate educational strategies. The school’s athletic department offers a variety of teams for competitive play under the Thunderbird mascot.
Kiwanis Field was a dream for the community that was six years in the making at its opening in 2016. The publicly-funded facility features many new amenities to the Brantford community, including a world-class synthetic turf field manufactured by Act Global. Kiwanis Field at Pauline Johnson Collegiate is certified, meaning that the pitch provides maximum performance in shock absorption, deformation, ball roll and rebound, and rotational resistance. This means that the student-athletes at Pauline Johnson have access to a field that is certified for world-class safety to minimize the risk of injuries.
The new facility was imagined to provide more access to health and sports opportunities for the community and to meet the requirements for Special Olympics practice and competition. The professional-quality soccer and football synthetic turf system is also used to attract more demanding competition from local Hamilton Tiger-Cats Minor Sports Program.
This installation was possible through the expert work of our partner, Carpell Surfaces. Carpell Surfaces is a leading supplier and installer of synthetic sports surfaces across Canada. The company has an excellent reputation for top-quality installations in sports facilities at major universities, colleges, and schools, as well as high-profile sporting events such as the 2015 Toronto PanAm/ParapanAm games and the 2015 Women’s World Cup at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium.

With Spring and Summer baseball seasons upon us and athletes practicing long hours each week, it is important for coaches of all levels to be aware of what field surface their players are on. Many of the most common sports injuries are related to fatigue, which can be decreased with a sports surface that is specifically engineered for the types of movements baseball players take. Act Global tests its synthetic turf to ensure every detail of the turf matches up to the best natural grass fields with the additional advantages of increased frequency of usage, extra revenue generation, safety, longer playing sessions, and fewer canceled games.
Act Global’s artificial baseball grass systems have been tested for performance benchmarks against the 2017 World Series Champion’s natural grass field. The study of the Houston Astros’ field was conducted by an outside agency and reported on 8 test methods including shock absorption, deformation, energy restitution, gmax, head injury criteria, rotational friction/resistance, vertical ball rebound, and ball roll distance.
Previous to this study there was limited knowledge of baseball sport performance criteria and natural turf measurements. The technical assessment of the Houston Astros’ field provided key information to better understand the relationship between international synthetic turf standards and top-quality natural grass baseball fields.
In every facet of Act Global’s business culture, it has sought to address and service the needs of players with through its product. The exceptional quality of Act Global turf is a direct result of continuous investments in research and development, alongside benchmark and performance testing.
