WEYBURN - The City of Weyburn announced they will be able to reopen Crescent Point Place and the Tom Zandee Sports Arena this week, following the successful completion of repairs and inspections to the ice plant system.
This reopening is much earlier than was anticipated, due to the dedication and the tireless efforts of the facilities staff.
“Our facilities staff went above and beyond, working 24-hour shifts to monitor and preserve the ice surfaces, successfully preventing the need for removal. Their extraordinary commitment has made this early reopening possible, and we cannot thank them enough,” said Andrew Crowe, director of Leisure Services.
The repairs to the ice plant, including all inspections and testing, have been successfully completed, and the system is now fully operational and functioning as designed.
The arenas were open for lights skates for the Weyburn Red Wings and Gold Wings on Tuesday and today, Dec. 18, and Crescent Point Place will be able to host the Red Wings home game on Thursday, Dec. 19.
Both arenas will then be open on Friday, Dec. 20 for regular rentals.
“This reopening is a testament to the hard work and determination of our facilities staff. Their efforts not only saved significant time but also ensured the arenas would be ready for our community and user groups as quickly as possible,” said Mayor Jeff Richards.
The City of Weyburn also extended a heartfelt “thank you” to all of the communities that stepped up to assist user groups to continue their seasons while the arenas were closed.
