Hillcrest Tour

Hi Everyone,

A while back we were fortunate enough to go on a tour of the Hillcrest facility in Vancouver. It was quite amazing how much has changed since one year ago when it was the Olympic curling venue. The new facility is going to be a major hub for community events. It will have a state of the art aquatics centre (which is currently operational), two ice sheets, a soccer pitch, and even a branch of the Vancouver Public Library.

I should definitely say thank you to Ian Harvey at the City of Vancouver for taking us behind the scenes to show us how the whole centre operates. He showed us all of the mechanical systems and equipment that keep the facility running. I've posted a slideshow with some of the pictures from the tour, hopefully it gives a good idea of the kind of stuff we got to see.
