On a bitter day in the North end, many excited members of the extended Saint John Y family reaching a crucial milestone…a groundbreaking on the new facility.
MP Rodney Weston told the chilly crowd everyone has been waiting for this for a long time and he wanted to thank everyone especially Dale Knox, Shilo Boucher and everyone from the Y.
Some kids joined Y CEO Shilo Boucher and the politicians to big in the ground with gold shovels.
Dale Knox also announced that the campaign has reached $4.8 million dollars and they will happily accept donations from the community.
The new Y is set to open on Churchill Boulevard in the late fall of 2015.
