UPDATE: Opening day of Milton velodrome pushed back

With velodrome delays officially announced late last week, the Town of Milton has postponed the opening day for the cycling facility.

Originally set for November 1, the event — to introduce the community to the Mattamy National Cycling Centre — will now be held on November 29.

“The velodrome is a very unique project and it’s important to take the time to get it right,” said Mayor Gord Krantz. “Having to push our programs back by a few weeks isn’t ideal, but it’s certainly not going to dampen the community’s enthusiasm about this one-of-a-kind facility. When the doors open, I have no doubt that it will be worth the wait.”

All the planned program sessions for the fall and winter season will still be running, with a slightly later start and finish time than originally expected.
