Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Only as a legacy build as part of an international event and partnered with 7 Nations for Federal dollars. I don't think you can build one for under $400 million and that doesn't make any sense.

I'd like to get excited about this, but I know getting anything built in Canada is near impossible:

Alberta to open Crown land for all-season resort development in bid to boost tourism

The proposal offers the first tangible look into how the province intends to fulfill its goal of more than doubling its tourism economy.

No federal involvement unless they want to move a stream or an endangered species is there in a significant way. The last all season resort proposal that wasn't blocked by the province (like Spray Lakes was), Castle, was blocked by the municipality.

We need a philanthropist that likes the CFL and wants a decent modern stadium in Calgary - just like the McMahon brothers did 65 years ago.
