Though Senators Sports & Entertainment strongly supports the initiative, it’s up to Activity Centre Ottawa to raise the needed funds, which are significant. The centre in Whitby cost $42 million, paid for by a $21-million fundraising campaign and contributions from all three levels of government.

I wonder if this is similar for the DCDLS consortium's attractions? Will each attraction's group be responsible for paying for their own facility? If so, it is nice that they are keen to be on LeBreton Flats, but if they have to pay the full shot, they might not be able to move there. Or is DCDLS building the facilities and leasing them out; with the groups effectively paying for them over the long-term?
The Activity Centre is a big plus of the RV consortium's bid. Is there a possibility that it will be dropped if it can't pay its own way? If Activity Centre Ottawa can't come up with the money, does that mean that we will be left with an arena, a 2-ice-sheet Sens-plex, a row of bars along a small aqueduct, and a lot of condominiums/offices in that bid?
