A new campaign by the Edmonton Oilers is encouraging Edmontonians to call 311 to voice their thoughts on the downtown arena development.
The team ran an ad during Monday night's Oiler's game, and they hope to have residents make the calls until April 6th, when council will decide how to move ahead with the project.
Since February 21st, 311 operators have heard from more than 650 opponents of the project and just over 100 supporters.
