The Rivers District Master Plan was published in 2019. Within, the city earmarked $547M in capital expenditure for an events center. They've agreed to put up $537 now. They would have always counted on the Flames as an anchor tenant and that obviously came to fruition. But, they received a bonus $300M from the province (which, out of a $68.3B planned spend is pretty inconsequential). If you're going to be mad, be mad in 2019.
Between this and BMO and all of the facilities which will go up because of these two centers, Victoria Park is going to be an amazing part of our city. I personally hope this phase is truly over and meaningful progress begins on the project.
