Provincial Government commits $22.5million to Ivor Wynne stadium

Ivor Wynne
The provincial government has committed $22.5million to the renovation of Ivor Wynne stadium and in turn closing the funding gap that existed. The announcement was made this afternoon at Queen’s Park by MPP Sophia Aggelonitis and Ted McMeekin with Mayor Bob Bratina in attendance, the catalyst for the project. With many Councillors fearing the gap in funding at Thursday’s Council meeting, this should remove any doubt for those who opposed the project. The province has stepped up to the plate and tomorrow seems all but a formality in passing the stadium project. Mayor Bob Bratina has had his critics thus far, but I think it’s fair to say that in the 2 months in office, Mayor Bob was able to bring Confederation Park to the table and finally got Council on board with the Ivor Wynne renovations.
