First Nations Arena Plan in Winnipeg | Winnipeg News

Winnipeg’s Treaty One Development Corporation is pushing forward with plans to build a massive new arena on the old Kapyong Barracks site, aiming to give local First Nations athletes a homegrown training hub and possibly lure professional or junior sports teams to the city. With a $128,000 feasibility study—funded by the city and Treaty One—this project seeks to address the exodus of talented athletes who must leave the region to compete at higher levels. While city funding is limited by a non-compete clause with True North, the proposed urban reserve location may sidestep those restrictions. Even if a 6,000-seat arena isn’t viable, Treaty One will build the largest possible facility—turning this into a powerful statement of First Nations economic empowerment and community ownership.
