Recently we've heard a lot of rhetoric about the expense for "replacing the roof" at B.C. place, quite often brought up regarding the teachers' dispute, so I Googled the subject to make sure I am cognizant of the facts and not just "blowing smoke". Actually the $600 million quoted was for replacing the roof, renovations to the seats and washroom and a multitude of other upgrades. I know it sounds like a lot of money, but the building has been there since the early 80s, I think one should pause to consider how much money the building generates and the business it brings to local mercants. In one day during the recent Grey Cup game, that building brought about $100 million to the city of Vancouver. So I wish people would quit their whining about it.
