It’s no secret that the negotiations between the City of Calgary and the Calgary Flames regarding a new building for the hockey club aren’t going well. Heck, they aren’t going on at all right now following a public war of words in the run-up to last October’s municipal election.
But a group of city councillors, led by Ward 6 councillor Jeff Davison, are trying to get talks going again. Their approach is rather simple: changing up the people who are at the negotiating table.
Davison and a few colleagues are working on a motion to create a council sub-committee which would take the lead on arena negotiations with the Flames on the proposed Victoria Park Arena.
