As I said earlier the ski jumping facility was below par when it was used in 88.

New roof was put on the oval building in 2011 I believe. As a U of C student I remember the construction vehicles all over the place.

It’s been necessary since day one. With the funding agreement of WinSport, the University of Calgary, and Government of Canada, we got the agreements changed and were able to take money aside to have the roof fixed. For the next 20 years, this is the Canadian home of speed skating.
