Saint John East MLA Roly MacIntyre is promising renovations at the Canada Games Stadium will be finished by next June and will not impact the 31st Acadian Games. Games Organizing Committee President Michel Cote tells CHSJ news he is confident the games will run smoothly.

The official logo for the 2010 games in Saint John has been unveiled featuring colours of the Acadian flag in the shape of lightning bolts to represent the slogan "Energy is our Strength". Cote says they will also be launching a $400,000 fundraising campaign to support the games and provide food and transportation for the 1,200 participants.
