It's Been A Very Good Week For The Y

What a week for the Saint John Y.   Days after the announcement of more than 9 million dollars from Ottawa and the Province for it's new building...another substantial contribution.

Former Y member Richard J. Currie donating $500,000 to the project.     He will name the new gym after the YMCA Argos Basketball Team, in honour of all of the teams and players that played basketball at the Y over the years.

Currie himself was a a member of the Argos team in the 1950's.   A photo of the team will be put in the new Y's gym recognizing the history of basketball in Saint John.

Construction on the Saint John Y's new $22 million dollar facility is expected to begin next spring.
