Whether you use tax payer dollars to create something like a rink, or whether you simply give a huge coporation a tax break to set up shop here, it's all the same pile, just different wrapping.
Government gives hand outs to big private business all the time to make Alberta an appealing place to be, and to create jobs in our area. Government incentives are pretty key to keeping the economy of this province running. This really isn't much different. Like my original comment said, I'm not sure what the correct hand out in this particular situation is, but I'd wager it's at least something when you compare it to all the other hand outs big business gets to keep Alberta competitve and operations from an economic standpoint.
