Yesterday in Canada, Governor Snyder and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper joined members of the Howe family to unveil the official name of the soon-to-be built bridge linking Detroit and Windsor.
“Gordie Howe is a symbol of unparalleled success, longevity, civic generosity and international harmony, virtues we are confident the bridge will symbolize," Governor Snyder said. "‘Mr. Hockey’ is a universally respected ambassador for both Canada and Michigan."
