Despite the rumours, Marineland will open this year.

They’ll open in late June, but some well-known attractions, like roller coasters and some animal exhibits, will not.

The park will open June 28th and operate seven days a week until the end of the Labour Day weekend. Now under new ownership, only a “modified” experience will be offered this season.

Rides like the SkyScreamer, Star Voyager, Dragon Mountain and freefall Eagle Tower will not be operating for the coming season. The plans also don’t include the aquarium, land animal exhibits, Penguin Palace, and educational presentations. No details were shared on the status of Arctic Cove, home to the park’s beluga whales.

A basic ticket this Summer will cost $14.95 compared with the $52.95 charged in 2023.

The park did not reveal details on whom the new owners or partners are, or what the plans are for the future.

The Intercounty Baseball League (IBL) has its official app.

It’s avaialable now for download on iOS on the Apple App Store and soon in the Google Play Store for Android devices.

Fans now have a direct gateway to league news, live game broadcasts, scores and statistics. You can also purchase tickets and official team merchandise through the app.

The C-K Barnstormers will play their first IBL game next week.

Today is McHappy Day!

On McHappy Day, you can be a hero just by ordering McDonald’s. That’s because a portion of proceeds from every menu item sold all day supports Ronald McDonald House and families with sick children across Canada.
