Project update - Feb. 28, 2025

As the team wraps up the public consultation on the proposal to establish a multi-sport stadium at the Memorial Centre, we want to take the time to thank everyone who took like to complete a survey, ask a question, send an email or take part in a meeting -- either online or in-person. As a reminder, all feedback must be submitted to us by 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28. Any feedback submitted after this date can be included as part of the Council agenda as an exhibit or a communications package to Council, but unfortunately can not be part of the engagement inputs that will be analyzed by staff and including in our engagement report.

Here are a few highlights as consultations concludes:

• As of Feb. 27, 1,049 surveys were completed and 276 questions submitted and 8,857 had visited the project page.
• For the final in-person session on Feb. 26, we extended the session by 1 hour. We also prepared additional presentation boards to supplement information presentation information shared in earlier weeks. Participants were encouraged to add notes and comments to each of the boards however they wished. The engagement team took photos of all of the boards and will be transcribing the feedback to include in a What We've Learned report for Get Involved and for Council. If you require an alternate format, please contact us.
• The additional boards included two concept layouts prepared by the project team, and were intended to show how different site amenities could be accommodated on the site, and which amenities would need to change.
• The engagement team has updated two survey graphs in the images below to correct errors in the labelling of legends on the graphs (specifically, how people use the site, and how changes would affect them).
• Between now and March 18, staff will continue their feasibility analysis on the the proposal. The Council report will be available online on Thursday, March 13. We will share an update on this page and email project participants when it is posted online.

Thank you again for your participation and being part of this conversation!
