It was an exciting day, though the frostbite is still hard to forget.
Today, on a much more pleasant, sunny winter day the Canada Games Centre opens its doors.
A celebration for the community and much needed infrastructure for Nova Scotia and HRM.
I remember being on Halifax Regional Council through the discussions, funding debates, and ultimate approval of this facility, and in fact the games themselves.
Some days it seemed we'd never get agreement from the many groups who wanted the centre to reflect sometimes competing needs. But as residents of HRM we made it. We succeeded. Through sometimes acrimonious debate we have a facility that the community is proud to call their own.
Today under sunny skies, a brisk wind, and more than a bit of a sense of community the Canada Games Centre has opened.
Congratulations to all.
