Steve Mymko was honoured for his efforts in making the park a reality, the main road to the clubhouse will now be known as “Steve Mymko Circle. The College Pierre Elliot Trudeau Chamber Choir provided musical entertainment for the ceremonies.

Saturday evening featured a Celebrity Baseball Game, where the Buhler Red Team defeated the Buhler Blue Team 6-5. Umpire John Buhler managed to avoid controversy by calling a fair game. The evening ended with great fanfare, with performances by Caraballo and Piano Catz, followed by an awesome performance by the Fire Pixies and a fireworks display. To cap off the weekend, more than 50 boys and girls baseball and softball teams competed in the first Wayne Tucker Memorial Transcona Sports Weekend.
