Fans take in Raptors win at the Norgan Theatre

MINTO – It may not compare with the thousands who packed the Scotiabank Arena for home games, or millions who lined the streets of Toronto for the celebratory parade, but the Toronto Raptors NBA Championship final series did draw well, proportionately, at a local public venue.

“We had our own Jurassic Park,” noted councillor Ron Elliott at the June 19 meeting.

Elliott said between 80 and 100 people attended licensed events at the Norgan Theatre to watch games on the big screen.

Admission was by donation.

“It was great to see,” said Elliott. “So we’re thinking in the future we may have hockey games and such-like that we will put forward for the public.”

“You mean when the Leafs get there?” asked Mayor George Bridge.

“The Stanley Cup final for sure … they’re making trades you know,” Elliott replied.
