Over the next few posts, I am going to focus on the Hammonds Plains Rd area. There are many exciting projects that are underway from Bedford right up to St. Margaret’s Bay Rd (at the end of the Hammonds Plains Rd).
In 2009, the HRM partnered with Nustadia Recreation Inc. to build, own, and operate a new sports complex that will house 4 new NHL sized ice surfaces in Bedford. For years now, with the increasing population base of HRM, prime-time ice availability has been a growing issue for hockey programs all over the city; from minor hockey right up to recreational and pickup leagues. This complex is being built in response to this capacity issue and will hopefully alleviate some of this demand. It is scheduled to open in early November of this year.
One of the arenas will be fully accessible and able to accommodate sledge hockey. The complex will also contain four competition beach volleyball courts, a sports retail store, and a food and beverage concession area.
The center will cost $40-million when complete. It will be 160,000 sq/feet and will be located on the Hammonds Plains Rd.
CBC announced that the BMO Financial Group has been awarded the naming rights for the new arena in Bedford. This will be a 10-year agreement.
As always, I can be contacted by e-mail: bruce@listhalifax.com or cell: 497-6865.
