Global Spectrum will make a pitch to Hamilton city councillors Monday to rename Copps Coliseum.

Scott Warren of Global Spectrum will make a presentation, possibly with the potential naming partners, at a general issues committee meeting.

The company tried to keep the request under wraps. In Warren's submission to councillors, he asked that it be in camera and not made public.

The city signed an agreement with Global Spectrum last year to manage Copps Coliseum, Hamilton Place and the Molson Canadian Studio. That agreement allows Global Spectrum to pursue a naming rights partner, Warren said. But the city has to approve it.

Copps Coliseum is named after Victor Copps, a long-time mayor of Hamilton. He was the patriarch of a family well known in Hamilton politics. His daughter, Sheila, went on to become an MP and one-time deputy prime minister. 

Also at this meeting, Coun. Brian McHattie will introduce a motion to drop a lawsuit with the federal government regarding the Red Hill Valley Parkway.
