It’s the opening weekend of the new Kal Tire Place North Arena and the public is invited to stop by to take in the many free events and the Loverboy/Platinum Blonde concert.
“The Kal Tire Place North project started on April 24, 2017 with an official sod turning event,” said Doug Ross, Director of Recreation Services. “In under a year and a half the project team has managed to build this wonderful new asset for our Greater Vernon community. I’m pleased to announce that the project came in on time and on budget, early reviews have been very positive, so it has been a very successful project. In many ways, we have been diligently Working for the Weekend to celebrate the new arena.”
This weekend will provide a fantastic opportunity for the public to try out the new ice surface, and to try some sports and activities for free.
