“We are tremendously grateful for Qualico’s support of our capital campaign,” said Paul Robson, Co-Chair Canada Games Sport for Life Centre Capital Campaign. “Qualico’s generosity will create significant lasting impacts as we continue to positively build our communities and neighborhoods through sport. While our private capital campaign has been successful, additional support is still required.”
"Qualico is committed to supporting the services and facilities that assist in improving the quality of lives in our neighbourhoods and applaud those with the vision for this wonderful facility. We are also committed to the redevelopment of the downtown area of Winnipeg as you can see with our residential projects in the Exchange area, so we share a common goal for this project,” said Kevin Van, Vice President of Qualico.
