GARRIOCH: More space, better transit could make Bayview Yards a contender for Ottawa Senators\u0027 new arena
Meanwhile, there is talk in local circles that representatives from the city of Calgary, who negotiated the deal to help finance a new home for Flames, could meet with Ottawa city staff sometime next month to outline the legwork that went into making the deal that was announced Tuesday.
“This is a generational investment in placemaking, creating a space for the community to gather,” said Calgary Mayor Jyoti Grondek. “This is another signal to the market that Calgary is making strong investments into its future.”Article content Since the Senators won preferred-bidder status from the NCC in June 2022 to build a rink on a seven-acre parcel of land at LeBreton Flats, we’ve insisted the city will have to play a role to make the project work.
If a lease is in place with the NCC , it still has to be approved by the club’s board of directors and then will require final approval from the government of Canada before work can begin in earnest.Postmedia reported last month that several of the groups involved in the bidding process have raised concerns about the size of the parcel of land at LeBreton, which is the reason Sutcliffe raised different options.
The NCC was caught off guard about the possibility of other sites when Sutcliffe made suggestions last month.
