Ontario still deciding if it will help cover cost to host World Cup games in Toronto
The city is hoping that the federal government and the province will pick up two-thirds of the total, or about $184 million.
Also in attendance were Stephanie Labbé, a former Canadian women's national team goalkeeper and the current general manager of women's soccer for the Vancouver Whitecaps Football Club and former Canadian men's national team midfielder Dwayne De Rosario. Tory said hosting the biggest men’s soccer tournament in the world will result in “gigantic” results for the city, province and country. Previously, city staff estimated that the games will result in $307 million dollars of GDP impact, including the creation of 3,300 jobs.
"I think you have to look at the positives of this. But that doesn't stop us all from having to do the due diligence that we have to do to make sure that public monies that are invested in putting on these World Cup games are spent wisely."
