THE City of Vancouver and Canucks Sports and Entertainment have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore a new hockey development facility with community amenities at the Britannia Community Services Centre site, adjacent to the existing Britannia Ice Rink. Through an exclusive negotiation period, the City and Canucks Sports and Entertainment will work collaboratively to explore terms for a potential ground lease for the new facility, the use of Britannia Ice Rink by the Vancouver Canucks, and other financial terms and community benefits. This is another important piece in building the foundation, culture and standards that will help position the Vancouver Canucks for long-term success.” Additional details, including potential community benefits, would be developed through further discussions, community engagement and future approvals. The City and the Vancouver Canucks said they recognize the important roles of the Vancouver Park Board and Britannia Community Services Society at the Britannia Community Services Centre site and will engage them at appropriate stages as the opportunity advances.
