Overview

  • Between 2022 and 2024, Nathan Michael Mizera and Joshua Tyler Bredo rebranded the hall as BowCommons and managed its daily operations without formal board approval.
  • Police say the duo used fabricated service invoices and email addresses to channel event revenues into their personal accounts.
  • Mizera and Bredo filed a $3.5 million lawsuit against the Calgary Police Service in February, claiming officers weaponized the investigation to justify their April 2024 dismissal.
  • Joshua Bredo pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2017 for a 2011 hammer attack and was released from custody in 2018.
  • The pair are scheduled to return to the Calgary Court of King’s Bench on August 6, 2025.
