Federal funding to help replace the Labour Club ice plant

LETHBRIDGE, AB – The City of Lethbridge is getting a nearly $1-million boost from the federal government to replace the ice plant at the Labour Club.

The ice centre was built on the north side in 1975. About five years ago, the ice surface underwent some renovations.

This latest funding from the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream includes $960,000 to help replace the arena’s ice plant. The City is also chipping in $240,000 for the project.

The feds say this funding is conditional on “fully satisfying environmental assessment requirements and consultations with Indigenous groups.”

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
