Toronto will permit MLSE to build a $30-million practice facility for the Raptors on the CNE grounds. In return, the City will own the facilities and MLSE will pay for upkeep, maintenance and capital upkeep. Could be fair. Members voted 38-2 in favor at today’s last meeting before the October 27, 2014 general election. Only the Ford brother opposed the motion. The space used for the centre will eliminate 200 parking spaces so MLSE and the City will split the cost of a $400 million parking garage. MLSE has promised to permit use of the facility to community groups for camps and tournaments as well as to Canada Basketball. NewsTalk1010
