The Air Canada Centre in Toronto was built by private money
The Bell Centre in Montreal was built by private money
The Rogers Arena in Vancouver was built by private money
Ottawa's rink was almost entirely built with private funds (something like 3 percent was paid by the taxpayer)
I am not sure where these public palaces are but as a general rule they are not in Canada.
