Fredericton Opens the Grant-Harvey Centre

I recently stopped by the new Grant-Harvey Centre at 600 Knowledge Park Drive in Fredericton.  The new facility features an Olympic size ice surface, an NHL size ice surface, a walking track, and community meeting rooms.  The layout is very similar to Willie O'Ree Place on Cliffe Street, Fredericton.  Here are a few photos:

Here is a photo from August 9th showing the progress on Fredericton's newest sport facility.  The Grant-Harvey Centre will include two ice surfaces. Adjacent to the Grant-Harvey Centre is an indoor tennis facility and an outdoor artificial turf field.

Arena for Grand Manan Island

I missed the boat on this one. Grand Manan Island finally built an indoor ice arena in 2010 and I did not notice. I only became aware of the new arena in April 2012 after I saw the Mars Bar commercial on tv. Here is a link to a very nice mini documentary on the new arena - http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ByklUTvyapU
