In September 2001, MacLean, president and general manager, brought the Columbus Blue Jackets to Summerside.

Municipality of the District of Lunenburg director of recreation, parks and tourism from 2020 to 2022.Stewart has many memories of working together with Schurman on bid packages for events, but two that stand out are when Summerside was awarded the 1994 International Softball Congress world senior men’s fastpitch championship in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1992, and the 1997 Canadian junior A hockey championship in Winnipeg in 1995.
