Ice making will begin tomorrow morning at Elliot Lake’s Rogers Arena, with blades going on the ice September 1st, according to lead architect Chris Perry of Perry and Perry Architects.
Elliot Lake Mayor Andrew Wannan says the city has been approved for $2 million in funding from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation for repairs to the Rogers Arena.
Work is progressing on the Rogers Arena in Elliot Lake, and according to the lead architect on the project, is on schedule for a tentative re-opening in September of this year.
Following a detailed report and discussion at Elliot Lake Council’s Monday night meeting, council passed a motion to spend an additional $11.6 million on the Rogers Arena.
Elliot Lake’s Special Projects manager says there is growing public interest in the reopening of the Rogers Arena, so he presented a report to council this week to update the project.
