City of Cranbrook staff have been directed to investigate accessibility issues at the curling rink.
City council received a letter from the Senior Floor Curlers of Cranbrook regarding access to the upper levels of the curling rink.
They said a number of their members have a hard time accessing the top floor due to health conditions.
Councilor Norma Blissett says the curling club wants to try for grant funding for an elevator but they need the cities help.
“I’d like staff to take a look at this. From what I understand we already have an elevator shaft in the building,” she said.
“The curling club would like to apply for grants to be able to get an elevator installed, but they need the city since it’s a city building.”
She says better accessibility would also help all the events that rent out the building.
City staff will be investigation to determine what is needed from the.
They will present their findings to council in a future meeting.
