Arena deal survives City Hall vote

The Calgary Flames are going to have a new home in a few years. Yes, still. The deal between the Flames and the City of Calgary survived a reconsideration vote on Friday morning amidst city council’s contentious budget talks.

Worth noting support on #yyccc for arena has not budged one iota since July. This is the same vote split as before. #yyc https://t.co/og1yqdbnFq

Posed by Ward 8 councilor Evan Woolley, the reconsideration motion required 10 votes to pass since it was reversing a prior council.
