'The door is open' to new Senators arena at LeBreton Flats: NCC
CTV
The NCC is launching a request for expressions of interest for major attractions on two parcels of land at LeBreton Flats.
And the director of the LeBreton project says the NCC is open to a possible arena for the Ottawa Senators on the federally-owned land.
“The door is open,” Katie Paris told reporters on Wednesday. “We understand that the Senators owner has been vocal in the media about looking for another location for the arena. If it’s of interest of him or to the Senators, them the door is open.”
“But we also want to make sure that we get going on this project,” she added. “So we are looking for other ideas and we want to make sure that we consider the whole range of ideas before moving forward.”
The NCC has launched a request for expressions of interest for two parcels of the land just west of downtown, which the commission hopes will feature major attractions.
