Having performed at the Globe during a musical run, it along with the Cornwall Centre and Casino Regina are the only larger tourist attractions downtown.

It is integral to the downtown whether you support the funding or not for it to be there.
Yes, the costs have gone up though it’s not a surprise at all with the current climate of materials and work labour costs.
Once it is back up and running - producing shows, its theatre programs and rentable spaces - the downtown restaurants and hotels specifically will benefit. It is a positive for Regina and also the fact that the heritage facade was kept and fixed up is a great aspect.
Can’t wait to see it finished  . |
Lol. No wonder you're such a big proponent of this thing. Let's just say your opinions have now got a big asterisk beside them.
