🏒 Arena Lounge Makeover for Big Events?

Should Rossland spend $200,000 to renovate the Arena Lounge before hosting the BC Winter Games and potential Coy Cup in 2026? 🎯

Council needs to decide if this community space upgrade is worth the investment for these major sporting events coming to our city! 🏆

  • 🏟️ BC Winter Games coming February 2026

  • 🏆 Potential Coy Cup hosting March 2026

  • 📅 Current lounge is outdated and needs modernizing

  • 🎯 Renovation aligns with 2023 Recreation Master Plan

  • 🤝 Project developed with Rossland Arena Society

  • 🕨 Complete kitchen upgrade with new appliances & counters

  • 💡 LED lighting throughout and new rubber flooring

  • 🏆 Redesigned trophy case with integrated lighting

  • 📺 Projector mount for presentations and events

  • 🏠 Fresh paint and exterior touch-ups around entries

$500,000
Total Growing Communities Funding available for Recreation Master Plan priorities, with $0 spent so far - meaning this $200,000 project uses existing allocated funds rather than new taxpayer money

Should Council approve the $200,000 Arena Lounge renovation to prepare for the BC Winter Games and Coy Cup?

⏰ Work Timeline: October 2025 - April 2026 (phased to avoid disrupting major events)

🗳️ Council Decision: Pending - staff are requesting direction

💭 Your voice matters! This affects a key community space that hosts events year-round, not just these major competitions.

Stay engaged with your local democracy! 🏛️
