Vancouver's massive new convention center wants financial help, making it the latest project to seek a bailout from British Columbia taxpayers.
Backers haven't said exactly how much they need, on top of the C$362 million the province has already committed for the 1.1 million-square-foot waterfront project. The bill would follow rising costs for the Olympics and transit projects.
Though the convention center would surely provide future economic benefit, the city is currently considering stifling tax increases now.
