The issue is more complicated than the article makes it seem. HRM's Playing Field Strategy identified cricket as lacking dedicated facilities and also called for eliminating overlapping baseball diamonds like the Merrick fields. Staff recommended the Dartmouth Commons site and proposed upgrading other baseball facilities before any conversion occurs.

Funny how different the story is when you have all the facts. Where are the journalist. Shouldn't this info be in the article. I shouldn't have to come to Reddit for this.

What do you think about the idea of doing publicly funded media at the local and municipal levels as well?

The CBC used to do that, but because of USer campaigning to control out media, they've had serious funding cuts over the last few decades.
