Kensington Credit Union Centre Upgrades

completed

Closed

The project will generally include various upgrades to the Kensington Credit Union Centre (CUC) Rink facility. The CUC is approximately 50 years old and requires upgrades to extend its useful life and to operate more efficiently. The CUC benefits the Town of Kensington and approximately 29 surrounding communities for activities such as hockey, figure skating, a gym facility, hosting town events/festivals, etc. The project will also improve the safety and comfort for the general public and users of the facility. More specifically the project will include: 1. Installation of a 100kw solar panel system for electricity generation to allow for a more efficient operation and reduce our carbon footprint. 2. Ice Plant Replacement - The current ice plant is in need of immediate replacement, including 2 compressors, a chiller, evaporator and brine pump. 3. Heat Reclamation Tanks - Will allow for the heating of water through residual heat that would otherwise be wasted. 4. LED Lights over Ice Surface - Better and more efficient lighting. 5. Ice Surface Enclosure Boards - Replacement of boards, glass and netting. 6. Ice Jet Water Purification - Provide a better quality, and clearer ice surface. 7. Parking Lot Pavement Re-surfacing - Provide a safer parking area for users. 8. Exterior Painting - Will give the facility a fresh coat of paint.
