Steve Allan: Building an event centre in West Village puts the Stampede at risk yyc yyccc
Through the efforts of many, the City of Calgary and Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation reached an agreement in 2021 for an event centre to be located in East Village, a deal which subsequently fell apart. There is nothing to be gained by pointing fingers or making an issue of why it fell apart. It is a fact.
An event centre in East Village will be complementary to the Stampede, BMO and Arts Commons. These assets will attract further investment in East Village and together will create the central gathering place for Calgarians and our visitors for decades to come. I learned from my time as chair of the Canadian Tourism Commission, how competitive and challenging the convention and trade show business truly is, as we are competing internationally with venues that offer significant incentives to attract major events. There is only one hotel that has been announced in East Village.
