The government authority in Ontario is seeking consulting services to develop a comprehensive facility renewal strategy for its network of arenas. The selected consultant will evaluate the current capacities, physical conditions, accessibility, geographic distribution, and utilization levels of existing arena facilities. The objective is to identify opportunities for the renewal, repurposing, transition to multi-purpose configurations, or divestment of aging arenas, including consideration of alternate community and non-ice uses.

The strategy should support broader goals of community well-being, sport development, equity, and climate resilience, while also enhancing facility usage throughout the year. The selected firm is expected to deliver actionable, costed, and evidence-based recommendations for short-, medium-, and long-term implementation, ensuring alignment with existing strategic plans, asset management objectives, and available financial and resource capacities.
