The new centre will be a destination for Winnipeggers and visitors alike supplying a year-round attraction for tourism. It will enhance Winnipeg's quality of life, community recreational options and provide a vital asset for encouraging business to expand or re-locate here.
"Winnipeg's downtown is its heart - it must be healthy if the city as a whole is to be fit and strong. Its health is a measure of its economic vitality, its social vibrancy and its physical attractiveness. In the end, the streets and buildings, the people, the businesses, the activities, merge to fashion the image that Winnipeggers hold of their city. It is also the image that visitors take home with them. As a result, our reputation as a city rests with our downtown."
- Plan Winnipeg - 2020 Vision
When it opens in 2004, Winnipeg's 440,000 square foot, 15,000 seat centre will be among the most modern on the continent and be capable of attracting world-class entertainment to Winnipeg.
