The idea is to add a second sheet of ice to the arena. At the same time, there’s a new project name — sportsplex. Arena sheds old multiplex name Now it will be the Terrace Sports Plex By JEFF NAGEL THE CITY’s new $4 mil- lion plan to twin the arena is to be dubbed the Ter- race Sports Plex. “Nobody wanted it tag- ged with the old ‘Multiplex’ name,” city administrator Ron Poole explained, The new project is much slimmed down — featuring a second sheet of ice positioned between the existing arena and pool, a youth centre and some enlarged meeting space. “Tt really is a basic fa- cility,” Poole said. Gone from the old mul- tiplex plan is a double gymnasium and a com- munity theatre. The city is now pursuing the idea of a separate conference centre, which may be eli- gible for a separate set. of grants. , But the project will be larger than just the bare bones second sheet of ice that voters rejected several years ago, Poole noted. The plan is to Start building the project a year from now — as long as fun- d-raising in the meantime pulis in a major chunk of money. The city has a $2 mil- lion = federal-provincial Erant approved and has in- dicated it could borrow several hundred - thousand on short-term borrowing to put in ‘itself. The rest is to come from donations and spon- sors, and Poole says suc- cess will particularly rest on the response of corpor- ate sponsors. Tf there isn’t good re- sponse there, he said the stratepy will have to be re- assessed. Fact sheets and other promoticnal materials are ‘being assembled to arm a fundraising committee, Poole said. Work in the past two months has included pre- paralion of conceptual drawings through McEI- hanney Engineering and architect Dan Condon. Those plans call for a youth centre in the base- ment beneath the current arena banquet rcom. The banquet room would be expanded to take in exist- 4 ing office space on al level, forming a larger meeting space that can be rented out. There would also be a- $45,000 climbing wall, _ Poole said, although that is one of the options that stands to be eliminated if contributions don’t hit tar- gets. He said the design also has space for one or two retail areas that would be leased out to outside oper- ators — possibly food ven- dors or sports equipment shops. A 2,700 square foot area on a second level in between the two arenas would have glassed win- dows looking onto both sheets of ice. Poole said that will likely be a li- censed lounge area. Poole says city staff are also working to determine what the annual operating costs of the new sports. plex would be, He said it appears cer- tain it will cost more to Tun the new complex than the existing pool and arena, but how much more is not yet known. 150 Pieces from Britain, France and America Uldeunere May 10th & 11th 10am - 6pm Dining sets, Wardrabes, Cabinets, Stained Glass & more 1-250-846-9778 ANANTIQUE EXTRAVAGANZA Downtown Telkwa FASHION FABRICS AND HOME DECOR All Fe a Buy m 3 or more 30708 Selected oe 65% OF reg. rr Excellent “OFF 10% 3 re i BS) Buy 3m or more Buy 3m or more O reg.
