The Hart arena’s ice plant is at the end of its life, city council was told last week.
The city is seeking a federal grant to help pay for a $3.975 million ice plant replacement and upgrade for the Elksentre Arena.
“The Elksentre ice plant has reached the end of its life,” city director of civic facilities and events Andy Beesley said. “We are doing the Kin 1 first, then the Elksentre, then CN Centre.” Replacing the Elksentre ice plant is required to meet new refrigeration plant regulations that came into effect after the deadly ammonia leak at the Fernie Memorial Arena in Fernie, B.C. in October 2017. The upgrade would reduce the ammonia charge for the ice plant by roughly 60 per cent, the report says.
