We have shovels in the ground, for the new Canada Games Park in Thorold.
Several local dignitaries stopped by yesterday's ground breaking ceremony.
The speakers included Regional Chair Jim Bradley, St. Catharines Mayor Walter Sendzik, Thorold Mayor Terry Ugulini, St. Catharines MP Chris Bittle, Niagara Centre MP Vance Badawey, Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff and Brock University Board of Trustees Chair Gary Comerford.
