On Tuesday, Halifax council gave conditional approval to a one-time, $20-million contribution toward the construction of a stadium. Councillor Shawn Cleary voted against the motion, questioning the need for a community stadium. He gives us his reasoning.

We continue talking about the stadium with Councillor Steve Adams, who before voting in favour of the motion, asked CAO Jacques Dube about what capital projects would be scuttled if the stadium recommendation was accepted.

Anthony LeBlanc, Schooner Sports and Entertainment’s founding partner, acknowledges there is still a lot of work to do surrounding the stadium, including finding new land, securing financing, and getting the province to buy in. We have a conversation about it with LeBlanc.
