After 18 months of gun smoke and horse apples, city council is winding up the punch-drunk Pan Am trail drive by asking the province to ride to the rescue.

Remarkably, they may even get it done, thanks in large part to City Manager Chris Murray, who spent a good portion of the weekend bending the ear of Premier Dalton McGuinty’s chief of staff.

Murray isn’t going so far as to say he’s confident the provincial government will bridge the $38.6 million funding gap for rebuilding and retrofitting Ivor Wynne.

But he says he’s received a “financial commitment” from the province to cover at least some of the shortfall.
