Mayor encourages letter campaign as cultural event centre funding efforts continue
Prince Albert’s mayor is asking the public to engage in a letter-writing campaign as the city continues to lobby the federal government to fund a portion of the proposed convention and cultural event centre.
The proposed centre would be located adjacent to the nearly completed aquatic and arenas recreation centre located in the Yard District of Prince Albert. It would house the P.A. Raiders hockey team and be capable of hosting other sporting events as well as trade shows and concerts.
Mayor Greg Dionne is requesting members of Prince Albert and neighbouring communities to write a detailed letter outlining benefits the proposed centre could bring to the area. The letter would in turn be passed along to various ministers in the federal government.
“We have embarked on that because then that will show the support of the community for this project,” he said.
