HALFTIME! A quick recap of what we know so far. We know it'll be called the Peter Gilgan Athletic Centre, named after Peter Gilgan, CEO of Mattamy Homes. He donated $15 million for construction of this facility. The centre will open in five months. Hockey celebrity Tie Domi is there along with one of the owners of Loblaws, Galen Weston.

Just asked Mr. Gilgan how he felt about us calling it "Gilgan Gardens" He laughed and said he liked the alliteration #mapleleafgardensby paigesellis via twitter 11/29/2011 4:52:17 PM
