Sportsworld Arena Improvements

The city was awarded $600,000 in federal and provincial infrastructure funding for upgrades to the existing Sportsworld twin-pad arena for enhanced customer service and improved energy efficiency. The city also contributed $300,000 in funding, which means the total amount allocated for this project was $900,000.

The upgrades to the arena are now complete; they were celebrated with a ribbon-cutting event in March 2011, featuring a free public skate.

Project background

Upgrades to the facility included:

  • Improvements to operating equipment and systems including HVAC, electrical, lighting and building control systems;
  • Rehabilitation of rubber flooring in change rooms, hallways, officials' rooms and first-aid rooms; 
  • Addition of snow-melting equipment allowing for more efficient snow disposal.

The benefits of rehabilitating the existing arena include:

  • Additional ice time for citizens to enjoy;
  • Energy savings as a result of improvements to operating equipment and energy systems;
  • Improvement to the condition of the building, allowing citizens to better enjoy the facility;
  • Address and fix items that could impact health and safety.
