Fraser Lake Arena Project

As part of our mandate to support sustainable Regional Economic Development CFDC-Stuart Nechako was asked for help by the Village of Fraser Lake to find funding to facilitate upgrades to the local Arena possibly through the 2010 Olympic/Paralympic Live Sites Program.

Having been built in the early 1970's, the facility was in need of substantial upgrades.

 

The arena project involved the following activities:

  • replacing the chiller, sandbeds and piping for the arena ice
  • hard surfacing the arena ice bed
  • replacing the floors in the complex entrance, stairs and upstairs
  • updating the arena lighting to become energy efficient
  

Total project costs were over $800,000 and we received $330,000 from 2010 Live Sites, $150,000 from Nechako-Kitimat Development Fund, $30,000 from Northern Development Trust Initiative and the remainder was paid for by the taxpayers of the Village of Fraser Lake. The Community of Fraser Lake expects many groups will take advantage of the hard surfacing by planning summer indoor activities and that the facility will remain as the center of local winter recreation activities for many years.
