The Chetwynd Ballpark Society, a large volunteer group, spent 1987 to 1997 transforming municipal land in Chetwynd into a five diamond ballpark. They raised funds with grants from municipal provincial and federal governments and relied on donated hours and local equipment. The project showcased teamwork between volunteers and local government to beautify the town.
The 1997 dedication named the local ballpark diamond Archies Memorial in honour of Archie Shannon of Chetwynd. The Archies Memorial Ray Cunningham Ball Tournament drew 13 teams, with all games played Saturday and a Legion gathering to follow. Revenue from the day totaled 2750.86 dollars as organizers thank participants and plan annual events.
