Major Update to CTRF Website Content

June 15, 2018

For immediate release: The Canadian Turfgrass Research Foundation (CTRF) is pleased to announce its website, www.turfresearchcanada.ca, has had major content updates over the past several weeks.

 “Updating the site was a time consuming but important task to ensure research results are being disseminated to the turf management industry,” stated Executive Secretary Jerry Rousseau, adding, “we’re still working on edits but did not want to delay any longer in sharing both new and previously unposted research reports from CTRF funded projects.  Most of the remaining updates are aesthetic.”
