Winnipeg for the 1967 (demolished) and 1999 (dismantled and re-located to Europe) Pan Am Games no longer exist. In February 2013, it was revealed that early construction of roads and additional site costs had caused the total project cost to mushroom to $63 million. The Milton velodrome's legacy funding for maintenance and operation of the facility has been referred to as "smoke and mirrors" by opponents. In June 2013 the legacy funding was announced as being $735,850 annually for 20 years commencing in 2014. The legacy grant amount will be revisited on an annual basis after the initial three years over the minimum 20-year life of the Legacy Fund. A 2016 Velodrome Operating Forecast released in 2013 showing anticipated revenues versus expenditures projected a net loss of $410,499. Incorporation Into Education Village The Town's plan to have the velodrome anchor the proposed future Wilfrid Laurier University in the Milton Education Village took a hit in May 2015 when the province rejected Laurier's pitch for the satellite campus on the site. The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities says there will be a second call for proposals in spring 2016, for a campus in the Peel and Halton region — which includes Milton. Laurier's president said the school does intend to resubmit its proposal. On October 26, 2016, Ontario announced it will build new university campuses in Milton and Brampton as part of a larger plan to improve access to education in underserved areas of the province. At the announcement in Milton, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development Deb Matthews said the facilities will focus on science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM).
