The Way Forward for a Multi-use Sports, Entertainment and Culture Complex with Liberal Federal Government Support
In a recent visit to St. Catharines, Federal Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff stated that a Liberal Federal government would favour support for a multi-use facility that would house sports, entertainment and cultural events.
He was very clear in stating that he did not support subsidies for professional sports teams. But where communities can greatly benefit and are in need of a multi-use facility that would enhance quality of life and deliver economic opportunities, those locations should be targeted for support. While touring St. Catharines with Liberal Candidate Andrew Gill, and conducting interviews with local media, Mr. Ignatieff stated that St. Catharines would qualify for support.
“Many residents expressed concern following Conservative MP Rick Dykstra s suggestion that we use Gas-Tax infrastructure funds for a facility.” said Mr. Gill. “These funds would not be touched under the Liberal program for a multi-use facility. The current facility is costing $1.5 million per year and St. Catharines would see many positive results across our entire community with a facility that would host, sports, entertainment and cultural activities. The choice seems clear – do we want to invest our tax dollars in needless mega-prisons or a multi-use community facility.”
