A B.C. government grant has allowed the City of West Kelowna to replace its 21-year old ammonia chiller at Jim Lind Arena and Royal LePage Place
The provincial grant is worth $442,000.
“We are extremely grateful to the province for supporting the City of West Kelowna’s application under the Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program (CERIP),” Mayor Gord Milsom said. “This will ensure that we keep with the safe operating requirements in this important multi-purpose facility that serves the Greater Westside.”
The replacement will see the closure of Jim Lind Arena and Royal LePage Place starting Monday, May 17, 2021, to accommodate the installation. Royal LePage Place is anticipated to reopen to the public on Aug. 2 and Jim Lind Arena on Aug. 9.
