The Province is investing $400,000 in Towns for Tomorrow funding to upgrade the Village of Nakusp's ice arena, creating a more eco-friendly and inclusive facility for everyone to enjoy.
The ice arena renovation will include a new refrigeration system and heat recovery system, as well as a new accessible washroom for people with disabilities. The upgrade will also include roof repair and the installation of solar panels.
The Nakusp and Area Community Complex/Arena is the lifeline of the community and the primary venue for events such as weddings, funerals and graduation ceremonies.
Technology, Trade and Economic Development Minister Ida Chong announced the funding August 6, 2008.
Nakusp residents give the thumbs-up to the $400,000 Towns for Tomorrow funding.
