Saint John Should Not Take A Back Seat To Moncton On Sporting Events

There's no reason why Saint John has to take a back seat to Moncton when it comes to staging major outdoor sporting events like a CFL game. That, according to Barry Ogden who chairs the city's Leisure Services Committee. He tells CHSJ News the Canada Games Stadium has to be promoted the same as Harbour Station.

Ogden says in the past the City had an organization that seeks out events but, they do not anymore.
He adds Moncton and Halifax both have groups that do that.

Ogden says the CFL has been contacted to make clear Saint John wants to host a CFL pre-season game.
