Emera Inc., the parent company of Nova Scotia Power, has offered $500,000 toward maintaining a skating oval on the Halifax Common.
Rob Bennett, the CEO of Nova Scotia Power, made the announcement this morning at the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame in Halifax. The offer brings the pledge total to more than $1 million for the Save the Oval project.
Molson Coors Canada already offered $400,000 and another $100,000 has been pledged by the 1990 World Figure Skating Championships Legacy Fund.
Halifax regional council will decide the oval's future on Tuesday.
"We wanted to make sure councillors knew of this before making their deliberations," Bennett said.

I think the headline should read Emera "i.e. Nova Scotia Power customers" offers $500,000 to help keep skating oval. As one of those customers your welcome HRM glad I could help.

Anyways with over a 1 million dollars in donations I think we can call this officially "saved".
