History
Cambridge Centre first opened in 1996, on a site previously occupied by the John Galt Centre, which was retro-fitted and expanded as the first phase of the development.
The mall underwent further expansion in 2002, which added several department stores, and an NHL-sized ice rink known as the Cambridge Ice Centre. Since 1996, $100 million has been invested in the enhancement of Cambridge Centre, allowing it to compete with other shopping malls in Waterloo Region, such as Fairview Park Mall and Conestoga Mall.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
