Stadium Funding On the Way

Federal money is on the way for the proposed upgrade of the Canada Games Stadium. Saint John M-P Rodney Weston will announce 1.4-million dollars in federal funding for the project during a news conference tomorrow morning. So far -- the Graham government hasn't committed any funds to the project -- but -- local government M-L-A's are still pushing to get some money. The city -- U-N-B-S-J and the private sector have all pledged funds to help with the six million dollar project which needs to be finished before next summer's Acadien Games scheduled to be held here
