'A great quality of life involves having great recreational facilities,' said Mayor Jyoti Gondek after the 25-year GamePLAN was approved
Calgary City Council has approved the Making Waves scenario of the 25-year GamePLAN, which aims to transform public recreation facilities with an annual budget of up to $250 million. This most expensive option among three presented seeks to enhance recreational opportunities equitably, including 2.5 times more bookable hours and service increases with population growth. While supported by Mayor Jyoti Gondek and the sports community, some councillors, like Andre Chabot, expressed concerns about the high cost, preferring a less expensive alternative. The next steps involve developing an implementation plan and engaging with communities.
