If the Peace Bridge was supposed to be filled with controversy today, no one told the eager, happy crowd.
Despite the bitter wind, over two thousand people showed up to the opening today, along with street performers, local celebrities and a First Nations Elder who gave his blessings.
Mayor Naheed Nendshi says when the Centre Street Bridge was built, it too was shrouded in controversy over cost, and that like that bridge, he hopes Calgarians use this one for many years to come.
