When the silver shovels hit the dirt in St. Andrews this morning, it marked the start of construction for the new Discovery Centre.
Federal and Municipal politcians were on hand for the ceremony at the Huntsman Marine Science Center.
The new space is 20,000 square feet and replaces the existing aquarium complex and will feature a multiplex aquarium facility and a giant exhibit of the Bay of Fundy Tides.
Total cost of the project is eight million dollars and no word on when the new facility will be open for business.
