FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 28, 2009
LETHBRIDGE - Today, the Hon. Ray Danyluk, Minister of Municipal
Affairs, announced that the Province
of Alberta is providing
$17.8 million in funding from its Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) to
support the completion of the ENMAX Centre Expansion project.
“Over the years, the ENMAX
Centre has been a hub of activity for citizens in communities across southern Alberta. I am pleased
that the Government of Alberta can support an expansion project that brings
communities together,” said Danyluk. “Throughout the province, MSI funding is
having a real impact, by enabling local councils, like Lethbridge, to make decisions that meet the
needs of their citizens.”
“The provincial funding
announced today is in addition to the $3.7 million in funding from the
province’s Major Community Facilities Program (MCFP) announced last December,”
says Greg Weadick, MLA Lethbridge West.“The MCFP funding was based in large part on community support. Clearly
the residents of Lethbridge
and surrounding communities appreciate the value of having a facility of this
caliber in the community.”
“Partnerships have made this
$33.7 million dollar project possible,” says Mayor Robert Tarleck. “The City is
grateful to the Province of Alberta for contributing almost two-thirds of the
funding for an expansion project that will see about 41,000 sq. ft. of space and
major new amenities added to the building.”
In addition to the funding
from the Province, the City of Lethbridge will contribute $4.3 million and, in
partnership with the Lethbridge Hurricanes, support a loan of $7.9 million
which will be paid back through a combination of new facility revenues sources,
and a contribution from the Hurricanes of $2.5 million over 15 years.
Demolition of a portion of
the existing structure has begun, and the building is closed for renovations
over the summer. Construction will be scheduled over a three-year period, with
major construction phases scheduled during the summer months.
“During the height of the
entertainment season the shows will go on,” says Tarleck.“The expansion is scheduled for completion in
the late summer of 2012.Once the
project is complete, the upgraded facility will continue to bring high quality
entertainment to the city for another 35 years.”
