I hope you have a budget ready to demonstrate how we are going to pay for this over the course of time, balancing maintenance, upgrades and other city projects at the same time - and without a lick of non-municipal funds.

Ummm the fieldhouse was quoted at 202 million at the time of Calgary next. Nakiska, Big 4, Saddledome, community arena are a waste of money. Sliding Center is already funded. 20 million oval for the ice planet, 10 million into Canmore, 80 million McMahon.
Im missing a few venues here though but I’m only at 310 million. The affordable housing component is a provincial responsibility. If you really care to look people including myself have run through the math repeatedly and depending on what you see as necessary upgrades the above statement is quite true.
Saying without a lick of non-municipal funds is false as well. The oval will find money for upgrades the same way the sliding Center did, the Nordic Center has upgraded itself continuously as well.
