Bret Hart helped facilitate the opening of the Stu Hart Memorial Bridge near Calgary, Alberta on Tuesday, as seen in a new video. The memorial bridge was officially opened yesterday with a ceremony, with the WWE Hall of Famer performing the ribbon cutting and delivering a speech to celebrate the occasion.

“It’s a special day for all of us,” Hart said at the ceremony (per F4W Online). “We all love the fact that they named a bridge after my dad. Because that’s what he stood for — he stood for being strong. I think he would be truly honored and it would mean a lot to him.”

He added, “I know my dad [and] my mom would be very proud. They gave a lot to the community. Calgary was always home for all of us Harts. For all of us, it’s just a big, giant pat on the back for everything.”

Stu Hart was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2010.
