'Toronto is ready': Mayor unveils plans for new practice facility for city's WNBA team

The City of Toronto and its newest professional sports team - the WNBA’s Toronto Tempo - have announced plans to build a brand new performance centre at Exhibition Place that is set to open next year.

In a news release issued Friday, officials said the facility will serve as both the team’s “high-performance training home” and a community “hub,” that will help expand access to basketball for fans across the city.

The announcement was made by Mayor Olivia Chow and Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik who spoke to reporters inside Coca-Cola Coliseum, where the Tempo will play most of their home games.


The city is providing the Tempo with a long-term lease to the land the practice facility will sit on - currently a parking lot.
