Council have but one option after todays announcement from Mr. Young. Reaffirm the original commitment to build a 15-20,000 seat 'Track and Field' stadium on the 'West Harbour' site. Full funding for said stadium is in place. I fear that Council will be drawn into various unrealistic options such as revisiting Confederation Park or asking for another extension from HostCo. That would be playing into the opponents (and there are many) hand. If Mr. Young intends to re-locate the Ti-Cats under his ownership, only one place makes sense 'Halton.' In order for that to happen the PanAm funding would have to follow. As a city we lent our support to the PanAm bid through hard work and financial commitment. Our vision for a Harbourfront 'Track and Field Stadium,' with direct GO train access was a large part of a winning bid. Support for the 'West Harbour' site was overwhelming until the threats and ultimatums from the Ti-Cats, and still a clear majority favors this site. That clear majority will support all members of council who stay the course and reaffirm the 'West Harbour' vision.
