These include extended hours at the Dockyard and in Shearwater, hotel-style gyms in Juno and Tribute Towers, and more. Complete information on the short and long-term plans for the future of fitness and sports at the base can be found at http:\/\/cafconnection.ca\/halifax.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt\u2019s not going to suit everyone\u2019s needs while we go without a purpose-built facility like we\u2019ve always had, but there is a future ahead of us and we\u2019re moving on to the next steps right away,\u201d Capt(N) Mazur said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">PSP Halifax Senior Manager Joni Sawler thanked the patrons who made such good use of the facility, the PSP staff members who\u2019ve provided services there for the last two decades, and others who supported events or gave back to the gym in other ways. A special mention was made for CPO1 (Ret\u2019d) Doug Wright, who worked to establish the Niobe trophy room and get other historical photos and artifacts on display throughout the building.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe appreciate everything he and others have done, because it\u2019s not just about lifting weights and running around the track; this building has had an impact on people\u2019s lives over the years,\u201d Sawler said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">While a new, permanent fitness facility for CFB Halifax is years away, CPO1 (Ret\u2019d) Wright hoped that the old photos, memorabilia and information will be preserved, and that the tradition of excellence in sports for Navy and CAF members in Halifax continues into the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe need to make sure the legacy goes on that we honour those who came before us, because it was a very important part of our history,\u201d he said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STADPLEX doors officially closed after 75 years By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff It was the end of an era for fitness and sports at CFB Halifax on October 31, as the STADPLEX gym, open on the base since 1943, officially ceased operations.
