Saskatoon’s chamber of commerce to poll businesses on location of downtown arena
He said he’s looking forward to the results of that polling, because business owners may have differing opinions depending on where they are located.“There’s the asterisk, that we can afford. So, we should build it so that we can grow into it.”
He said we need to have the right size for a city that is growing, and that the right amenities and services need to be available.“It’s easy to dream big, and it’s fun to start playing with designs and options, but what we really have to keep in mind is the impact to the city’s coffers, and certainly the impact to the taxpayer.”Some Saskatoon residents, like Mitch Cantin, like the idea of a new arena, but aren’t too fond of the locations.
“I think that would be awesome. I mean, we have so much going on downtown, why not add some more events?” said Gardipy. And resident Josh Dahl said a new downtown arena would get more people downtown again, adding that he also liked the Midtown mall location.Public consultation begins on Tuesday, and the final decision on the site will be made in November.
