WEYBURN – The City of Weyburn is pleased to share progress on the situation at Crescent Point Place and Tom Zandee Sports Arena. Repairs to the ice plant have been completed, and the plant will be restarted once final safety tests are approved.
Due to the extended downtime of the refrigeration system, both sheets of ice were lost and have been removed by City crews. Preparations are now underway to rebuild the ice surfaces. The ice-making process will begin once the floor slabs reach the necessary temperature, a step that is already in progress.
To streamline the process and expedite installation, the City has developed a collaborative plan that brings together City staff, volunteers from the Weyburn Red Wings, and the expertise of Canadian Arena Services, a third-party contractor.
“We are optimistic that the ice-making process can start before the end of this week,” said Andrew Crowe, Director of Leisure Services. “We appreciate the patience of our user groups and the community as we work diligently to bring the facilities back into full operation.”
A more definitive timeline will be shared with user groups and the public later this week as the ice installation progresses.
The City of Weyburn remains committed to providing safe and reliable facilities for the community and thanks everyone for their understanding during this time.
