Hole In Ground Successfully Completed
The $18 million cost of the project was shared by city, provincial and federal governments, and Federal Finance Minister Ralph Goodale says it is a good example of how all three levels of government can work together.
Another installment for the Wide Open Future campaign - "Experience Saskatchewan - Endless Blue Horizons, Colorful First Nations Culture, the Synchrotron and Free Bags of Goose Shit."
Goodale also marvelled at the size of the project, which he describes as, "1.3 million cubic metres of earth, moved by 200 workers and a massive amount of equipment, all in the dead of winter, working 24 hours a day."
$13.84 a cubic meter. Second reaction - does this qualify them to fill holes?
Thousands attended the ceremony. No, really. Thousands.

Thousands: I guess this is what passes for excitement in Sask? A hole. Dirt.
Okey dokey!
