The cost of Gatineau’s new hockey complex has just risen by more than $1.3 million, driven by a delay to study western chorus frogs and other environmental factors.
Gatineau taxpayers will pick up the entire increase in costs announced this week, while the province and the private developer of the new four-rink complex will pay the same as they expected from the start.
The city says delays in getting started, combined with inflation, have raised costs. The project has been delayed for nearly a year by provincial environmental requirements, including a study of the frogs in a nearby wetland.
