And now the City of Burnaby is bestowing another on its native daughter, renaming the recently purchased Fortius Sport and Health facility the Christine Sinclair Community Centre. City council approved the change unanimously on Monday, with Councillor Sav Dhaliwa calling the 37-year-old soccer player the best known Burnabyite of the last three decades. Burnaby city council voted this week to name a yet-to-be-completed sports complex the Rosemary Brown Arena. At the same meeting Monday, Burnaby city council also voted to name an under-construction south Burnaby sports complex the Rosemary Brown Arena. Official naming ceremonies for both facilities will be held at a later date, according to a release from the City of Burnaby.
