Description
In support of the city of Halifax’s bid to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Cannon Design assisted the Bid Committee in developing Games venues in and around Halifax to host international competition in track and field, aquatics, netball, field hockey, gymnastics, shooting, lawn bowls, rugby, wrestling, judo, cycling, badminton, weightlifting, triathlon, soccer, squash, table tennis, and boxing. After identifying potential venues and making recommendations to the Bid Committee, Cannon Design developed preliminary venue plans for the selected sites, including Commonwealth Park, a cluster of facilities in Halifax’s Shannon Park neighborhood encompassing many of the favored sport venues as well as the Athletes’ Village.
