    April 13, 2021 His Worship Mayor Charlie Clark and Members of City Council City of Saskatoon 222 – 3rd Avenue North Saskatoon, SK, S7K 0J5 Subject: City Council Budget and Priorities – Downtown Entertainment District To His Worship and Members of City Council, On behalf of the key stakeholders in the proposed Downtown Entertainment and Event District, we are pleased to provide this written letter to City Council demonstrating strong unified support of the Downtown Entertainment District. The purpose of this letter is to request consideration for committed and continued development of the Downtown Entertainment District, incorporating a new Convention Centre (inclusive of Sid Buckwold Theatre) and the Entertainment and Sports Arena. City Council will be inundated with capital project proposals through the budget cycle, focusing on post COVID recovery. It our wish that strong consideration and high prioritization be given to development of the Downtown Entertainment District during these deliberations. The development of the Entertainment District, including both of the anchor venues, is critical to enable Saskatoon to not only bounce back from COVID, but to thrive in the face of that recovery. Economic Impact of Downtown Entertainment District The arena and convention centre (including Sid Buckwold Theatre) are essential components of the economic vitality of the City of Saskatoon, and a significant draw for both business and leisure travel. Entertainment and conference facilities are known to be important drivers of the national and regional economies through domestic and international visitation, facilitating small business, and fostering innovation. Studies validating the economic impact of both venues have been completed in recent years.
