Part 3 of this special report looks at the need for a new downtown arena
This is part three of a series exploring a Civic Core Plan created by a group of concerned citizens of Prince George who understand the importance of incorporating the vision of user groups to create a multi-use facility in the heart of the city that will not only improve quality of life but also establish a strong path to economic growth.
As noted in Part 1, that citizen group included Noreen Rustad, longtime philanthropist and community advocate; Les Waldie, former vice president of human resources at a lumber mill, active in volunteerism and who once chaired a committee to build the cancer lodge; Margaret Jones-Bricker, who helped raise $4.
There are several groups that are on the schedule of regular users of the Kopar Memorial Arena that include Northern B.C. Centre for Skating, Prince George Figure Skating Club, Prince George Minor Hockey Association, Prince George Minor Lacrosse, Prince George Mohawk Oldtimers, Prince George Ringette Association, Prince George Senior Lacrosse, School District 57 schools.
The Civic Core Plan would include a multi-use facility that accommodates not only the Spruce Kings and the sporting community but also the arts community, Hawes emphasized. Under the umbrella of the Community Arts Council of Prince George & District at Studio 2880 there are several arts organizations in the facility that include Arts North Digital Media Centre, Community Arts Council Artist-in-Residence, Delgado Strings, the Northern Indigenous Arts Council.
