Calgary has the talisman centre. I'm sure with all the money Conoco-Philips, Devon, Encana, Duverney, Husky, Suncor, Paramount, And so on we could have a paid for facility if the would give back to the community !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381267521655075436.post-69193381691652829622007-04-16T22:52:00.000-07:002007-04-16T22:52:00.000-07:00Bill,Great site! it is encouraging to see an Alder...Bill,<BR/>Great site! it is encouraging to see an Alderman blogging... providing instant feedback to his constituents. I am from Medicine Hat, home of the proposed 90 million dollar arena, and i wanted to offer a link to my blog where <A HREF="http://www.jaceanderson.com/2007/04/how-do-you-spend-90-million.html" REL="nofollow">i offer another interesting way to spend $90,000,000.</A> i am not suggesting that this option could work for you, nor am i suggesting that your choice of expenditure is somehow incorrect it could very well be exactly what your community wants (although i am quite sure our spending 90 on an arena at this time is wrong): I am unaware of the financial constraints your community is in... and as such, i don't presume to judge.<BR/>Keep up the blogging!jace andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431824731777953729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381267521655075436.post-29563145585187758292007-04-07T11:13:00.000-07:002007-04-07T11:13:00.000-07:00This facility has been a long time coming.

Things never get any cheaper around here and stalling any portion of this project (I'm scared that the fieldhouse will be set back)will result in nothing but cost overruns and delays. Council needs to buckle down and start projects that will leave a lasting legacy.<BR/><BR/>This being said, nothing should happen until the Gymniks is finally twinned. All four of Grande Prairie's gymnasts have toiled in these cramped conditions for too long.wnellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16000051716553673466noreply@blogger.com
