Revolution Place is inviting members of the community to drop into the facility from Oct. 1-3 to participate in an interactive engagement session to share their thoughts on the proposed Revolution Place Revitalization. 

The engagement session is available for participants to share their feedback in the Bowes Events Centre at the following dates and times: 

  • Thursday, Oct. 1, 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. 
  • Friday, Oct. 2, 11:30 a.m.- 1:30 p.m. 
  • Saturday, Oct. 3, 11:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. 

Participants can work their way through the session, learning more about the proposed renovations, benefits and impacts while providing their feedback and ideas on features and programming at the facility as well as overall support for the project. 

The engagement session is self-guided, allowing participants to take as much time as they like to provide feedback through a variety of interactive activities. COVID-19 health and safety regulations are being implemented throughout. 

“We encourage everyone to pop by and share their thoughts, whether you are a community member, hockey player, business owner, artist, bookings manager, etc. Revolution Place is a hallmark facility for the community so this engagement process with our whole community is a key component of the planning and decision-making process,” says General Manager, Catherine Ridgeway. 

“This is a great opportunity to learn more about the project, share ideas for improvement, and weigh-in on the future of the facility.” 

The engagement session is being completed in conjunction with an online survey that was completed Sept. 8-20 and telephone survey that was completed from September 8-30, as well as targeted stakeholder engagement. Community feedback will influence both the viability of completing the renovations, as well as what the scope of what renovations may look like. 

Council will decide on proceeding with this project during budget deliberations Nov. 12 and 13.
