Brandon Sun - PRINT EDITION
The city will hold a press conference this afternoon at city hall regarding Brandon’s bid for the 2017 Canada Summer Games.
Mayor Shari Decter Hirst and bid chairman Jeff Cristall will be there to answer questions from the media release that will be handed out at that time.
The bid evaluation committee was to have submitted its report to the Canada Games Council board in early December.
As the Sun previously reported, the city’s bid hit a potential snag last year regarding Brandon’s swimming facilities.
The Sportsplex has a six-lane pool, but Swim Canada requires events to be held in an eight-lane pool.
If the Sportsplex pool is not deemed acceptable, options include moving all swimming events to Winnipeg, constructing a new pool, renovating the Sportsplex pool to increase the pool size or renting an eight-lane pool and building a temporary venue in the city.
The press conference is slated to begin at 1:30 p.m.
