Rexall Place: Candora Society and Wayne Gretzky

rexall place: It's just a whole pile of memories, good times, said Bailey, who took her seat in the building which used to be known as Rexall Place for the last time on Sunday, according to CBC. With the Oilers now playing at Rogers Place the new arena which took over hosting duties for many of the other major events coming to the city the Coliseum is set to close at the end of the month. From her plastic chair, she watched Wayne Gretzky lead her favourite NHL team to Stanley Cup victory after Stanley Cup victory in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Final farewell To offer the public the chance to say a final farewell, Northlands opened up the facility on Sunday, partnering with the Candora Society to host a multicultural round dance. Martin Weaver/CBC Tim Reid, the president and CEO of Northlands, which operated the venue, said its the perfect way to end things. People prepare for a multicultural round dance at the Coliseum, the final event to be held at the 44-year-old venue. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
