  Halifax Wanderers president Derek Martin has submitted a $100-million proposal to Halifax Regional Council to construct a permanent, privately-funded stadium and sports hub on municipal land. The project features a year-round Wanderers Block stadium with a potential winter dome, a 650-space parking structure serving the adjacent QEII Health Sciences Centre, integrated facilities for the Halifax Lancers horse riding school and a lawn bowling green, and a community sports hub at Maybank Field in Dartmouth. While Halifax Regional Municipality would partner through a 99-year land lease, the proposal faces scrutiny over its tight timeline—targeting a January 2027 groundbreaking—and the implications of private investment on public land, though Halifax Regional Council voted 15–1 to request a staff report on the project.
