BMO Centre Expansion | 25m | 5s | CMLC

[Habanero]

Can anyone tell me if Council simply voted on the 'plan to build an extension that looks like this rendering" or are there actually detailed drawings available for viewing?

Doesn't look like there are detailed drawings available, but the rendering is based on a GG design?

That's awesome news!! So rendering must be coming down the line soon?

Alright! ? Hopefully when this gets underway, other developments around it will start to fall into place i.e event centre, hotel,

Wow, 6 weeks from now? That’s crazy ambitious. We are talking just the first phase though right?

@darwink mentioned hearing hotels being nterested in going ahead once this got off the ground.

Yes, just Hall F will be starting in 6 weeks, that's the section that the Cowboys Concert Tent currently occupies during stampede. The glassy expansion on the site of the corral won't be starting til next year.

Even just getting Hall F started, is great news. Of course the glassy section will be great to see underway.

Honestly, I think that guy just opposes everything to be a pain in the ass. I used to think he was simply being the devil's advocate, but the more he does the more I think he's just a moron.

He was full of 'piss and vinegar' as the new guy on council. He seems to think his role is to always be the opposing view on everything. I wonder what his constituents think of him.
