The Gilbert Plains Recreation Complex will be retrofitted thanks to an investment of more than $1.2 million from the federal government.
Funding will go towards improving accessibility and safety for persons with disabilities at the complex, along with upgrading the building's operational efficiency. Accessible bathrooms, change rooms and other sustainable features are expected to be completed in 2025.
The community complex also saw the installation of a new, efficient ice rink refrigeration system, which is already in use and will continue to serve both the facility's arena and four-sheet curling rink.
These retrofits will accommodate the increased demand in the community for recreation services and will provide a safer, more accessible, and inclusive place for friends and families of all ages.
