It was more of a "snow-turning" than sod-turning, but the excitement was palpable at this afternoon's ceremony at the site of the city's third firehall.
Mayor Bill Given is looking forward to the next steps being taken
Construction on the 20-thousand square foot building begins right away, with a completion date set for June of 2012.
Clark Builders had the sucessful bid on the job at just over 6.3-million dollars.
When it's complete, there will be three drive through bays and quarters for eight fire-fighters at the new hall.
