Meadow Lake shares details of new multi-use facility
The city of Meadow Lake is sharing more details about a new recreation and civic centre that they hope will have a new ice surface ready for use for the start of the 2024 hockey season.
On Thursday, the province announced over 37 million dollars in combined funding for a new recreation complex. The 123,054 square foot recreational facility will be a cultural and community gathering centre and will include a full NHL-sized ice surface. It will also include a pleasure skating rink, and a fieldhouse with concession stands. An event hall will also be available to host community gatherings such as weddings, funerals, charitable fundraisers, and other community events

The funding is welcome news for a community that has been without an ice surface for over a year. The only arena in Meadow Lake burned down in June 2021 under suspicious circumstances. When contacted Friday, RCMP confirmed the fire is still under investigation.
