Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation (EOCF) Donated $10,000,000 toward the cost of the new King Thunderbird Centre

When we found a possible location - a 2.5-acre property only two blocks from the Coop - we approached the Oilers Entertainment Group. In September 2021, they purchased the site of the Coop for its appraised value of $5,000,000, and the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation (EOCF) donated $10,000,000 toward the cost of the new centre. The EOCF’s donation changed the trajectory of Boyle Street and helped launch Build with Boyle.
