More athletes and more sports are all part of the 2018 edition of the East Coast games celebrating its fourth year in the Saint John area.
East Coast Games co-chair Keith Raynes says the event has tripled in size since it began four years ago.
He tells us about some of the new sports added this year.
“Cricket, touch rugby and we’re going to add a 5k run into the event as well” Raynes said.
The 4th annual East Coast Games are coming up June 22nd to 24th.
The event brings with it an estimated half a million dollars in economic impact.
