Pomerleau. So, it's going to look like Empire Theatres and cost 3x the most recent estimate.
It's not a terrible building, but being Newfoundland's major port and largest city with our ever growing tourism industry, they really could have built something that was larger and more functional, and obviously more attractive.
Question for you guys, is the current convention centre used during cruise ship visits? I know that St. John's has no cruise ship pavillion or terminal as such, but the convention centre could function as a market for visitors to pass through where local artisans sell products to tourists. The Joan Harriss Pavillion serves that purpose in Sydney, NS but I have never heard of a similar operation in St. John's.
