Council voted unanimously to provide the cash, and sweetened the pot by increasing its in-kind contribution to $100,000.
The City of Victoria has agreed to provide $100,000 to support the Victoria organizing committee that hopes to lure Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada to the Island on Jan. 20.
“This is an opportunity for a nationally televised and observed sporting event that would take place in a unique circumstance down on Ship Point,” said Mayor Marianne Alto, noting it’s a rare opportunity for national exposure that also provides a unique experience for residents. Coun. Matt Dell suggested increasing the in-kind component, which would include things like parking, stages, staffing and logistics support, to show the city’s support. “This would be in the spirit of just being flexible and offering that we are here to support the event in any way possible,” he said.
The budget to host the event is $850,000, with Destination Greater Victoria and the province contributing $100,000 each and corporate sponsors covering the rest.
