Skaters hit the ice in Richmond
As completion milestones continue to be set a big one was accomplished last week and a lesser one, although more emotionally significant set yesterday.
The major milestone last week was the installation of the ice at the Richmond Oval. Though the building is still several months away from completion, currently estimated for December 2008, the ice is now in. It won't be long before the finishing touches are complete. Viewing the oval from the exterior it looks almost complete save for some landscaping and construction debris.
The emotional milestone that took place yesterday was the first skating at the rink which was undertaken by none other than several members of the Canadian Olympic Team including medal winners Clara Hughes, a Summer and Winter Olympian, and Jeremy Wetherspoon.
