True North Strong

By Stew Kernan

The group behind a multi-purpose Event Centre in Greater Sudbury has received another endorsement.

True North Strong has received the support of the Northeastern Ontario Building and Construction Trades Council which represents carpenters, brick layers, electrical, mechanical, sheet metal and iron workers..

Project Manager Andrew Dale says their support is vital to making this project a reality.

True North Strong is proposing to build a state of the art multi-purpose event centre off the Kingsway just over a kilometre east of Falconbridge Road.

The centre, which could become the new home of the Sudbury Wolves, will host 125 events a years including family shows, concerts, sports events and trade shows.

Dale council support is needed, but they continue to promote an ambitious timetable with the hopes of having a shovel in the ground sometime in 2017.
