Council sees Event Centre Presentation

The Consulting Team for the proposed Events Centre gave an initial report to City Council Monday night.  Conrad Boychuck of CEI Architecture and Ron Bidulka of Price Waterhouse Coopers gave an overview of where the team is in regards to the feasibility and design process.  Boychuck says during the February 29 open house, they found that the biggest issue for the public seems to be location.  Boychuck says results from a survey done at the meeting showed that the economic impact for the City and Region was the most important aspect for the location.  Bidulka says he is working on developing the business plan for each location and assess potential impacts on the surrounding area.  The team will hold another open house April 11th at the Da Vinci Centre.
