This is a brief update on the Multiplex. These updates will be issued to you on a monthly basis and can be used for circulation to your membership.
Construction
Most people may have spring fever, but anyone looking at how the site is progressing in the last few weeks will have their thoughts on sharpening their skates and trying out the new ice. The dasherboards and protective netting are completed and the seats are ready for the spectators. Construction crews are working at a heightened pace to complete construction.
The terrazzo flooring is complete and the final polishing will be done after substantial completion and building cleanup. Painting throughout the facility continues.
Construction crews will be on site in May to complete some exterior elements such as the paving of the parking lot and final landscaping.
Operations, marketing and naming rights
Naming Rights for the complex as well as the sponsorships for the individual rinks should be finalized in May.
Furniture has been ordered and will be arriving in May. There will be comfortable seating to relax and enjoy a coffee and a snack from the concessions.
May 30, 2008, has been selected as the official opening of the Multiplex. Plans for a variety of activities with community centred events are underway. Mark your calendars and join Mayor Rosen to open this state of the art community centre. The Fitness Centre will be operational in early fall.
Programming will be available for summer hockey, floor hockey, and lacrosse starting June, 1 2008.
