The Regina Pats are set to unveil a series of initiatives for the upcoming WHL season, promising to focus on affordability, family access, and fun. Gord Pritchard, the CEO of the Regina Pats, Shaun Semple, the owner of Brandt and Matt Semple, the senior vice president of marketing, are set to attend the announcement - slated for 9 a.m. Thursday at Mosaic Stadium. Brandt is in the process of taking possession of several properties on the REAL District in addition to the organization’s employees. Since being greenlit by city council in May, Brandt’s $6.5 million purchase of seven buildings on the REAL campus has seen the kickstart of several construction and renovation efforts. For the upcoming Canadian Western Agribition (CWA), Brandt plans to construct a movable 115,000 square foot building to house livestock to replace the space being lost as the Avana Centre is renovated to become the home of Brandt Sports and Entertainment. As part of its deal with the city, Brandt is assuming the existing leases, sponsorship, food and beverage and service agreements related to the purchased buildings, as well as all event bookings or contracts. The purchase includes the Ag-Ex Building, Canada Centre Building, Commercial Cattle Barn, Queensbury Convention Centre, Stockman’s Building, the Brandt Centre, the Agribition Building, the land lease for the McDonald’s located at 1810 Exhibition Parkway and the parking lot west of Mosaic Stadium.
