Regarding the Centre’s technological amenities, MacDonald reports, “We’re in stages there. We’ve really upgraded our Wi-Fi over the last two years. It’s a continual process, each year you have to review because everything changes so frequently. We have a company come in for that work and we have one of the best Wi-Fi areas in the city. And that’s what everybody is looking for. We recently hosted a major national curling event, the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, which is the Women’s National Curling Championship – 14 teams from across the country. It’s fully televised with a national broadcaster over 10 days and we met their standard. We also introduced an in-seat ordering app during that event, where people can sit in their seat, download an app, and order food and beverages from our concessions. It seemed to work well. We’re upgrading our POS system, as well. The biggest challenge we have is finding the dollars.”
