completed

The existing ice pad is the original refrigerated concrete slab from the 1976 construction of the facility. The existing refrigerated slab will be removed and the base will be regraded and compacted. A new refrigerated concrete pad will be installed. The dasher boards and glass will also be replaced with new dasher boards, glass and netting that will provide barrier free access for users of both the ice surface and the pad during the summer months for various recreation programs and events. The project will include the removal the existing refrigerated concrete pad. The base will be re-graded and compacted and a vapour barrier will be placed on the sub grade. A 50mm high curb will be installed to support the rink boards and a new concrete slab with a new refrigeration system will be installed. The existing dasher boards and glass will be replaced and new netting will be installed to improve the safety for the users and spectators. The population of the Township is 12,800. The Recreation Centre has been transformed from what was a hockey/figure skating arena to a recreation facility that provides diverse programs and activities at a welcoming and barrier-free facility for all age groups from youth to seniors. Upgrades in recent years include energy efficient lighting and barrier-free entrance doors and viewing areas along with murals from a local artist to highlight our Celtic Branding as Ontario’s Celtic Heartland.
