Details of the new agreement between Calgary Sports and Entertainment & The City have been released by #yyccc and are available at https://www.calgary.ca/pda/pd/big-four-capital-projects/event-centre.html. It’s important that Calgarians can see for themselves what this agreement means. 

This is great for Calgary’s economy but not all the benefits are felt by one organization. Hundreds of small businesses will benefit from the deal but none of them could pay for the arena on their own. This includes restaurants and bars, hotels, local artists, promoters, etc. 

My remarks to Council regarding a potential Event Centre and Entertainment District for Calgary.
