Jul 24, 2019 | 7:41 AM

CALGARY- Premier Jason Kenney says he’s happy he’s not being dragged into the debate over a new arena for the Calgary Flames.

The city, the Flames and the Calgary Stampede have agreed on terms for an event centre that would replace the 36-year-old Saddledome.

Calgary city council has yet to approve the tentative deal.

Calgarians have until Monday to offer feedback before council votes.

Kenney says the arena is not a provincial responsibility and he’s happy to stay out of talks.
