On October 20th, 2021, the Canada Games Centre Society (Halifax) presented the renaming of the Community Centre room within the CGC. Surrounded by family, friends and former colleagues, the Russell Walker Community Centre was unveiled. The renaming is in recognition of Russell’s 27 years of continuous service to the community as a City Councillor, longtime school teacher and community volunteer, and dedicated Board Member of the Canada Games Centre.
