Elk Valley Resources has purchased a new ice resurfacer for the Fernie Memorial Arena.
“On behalf of the City of Fernie, I want to extend our sincere thanks to Elk Valley Resources for this generous investment in our community,” said Mayor Nic Milligan.
“A new Zamboni will support the many residents, athletes, and organizations who use our busy Fernie Memorial Arena each season, helping us maintain high-quality ice and support great experiences. We appreciate EVR’s ongoing partnership and dedication to enhancing recreational opportunities for our community and the communities in our region.”
The Zamboni has been ordered, but won’t arrive until the end of the year.
“EVR values its strong relationship with the City of Fernie and is proud to contribute to projects that enhance quality of life across the community,” said EVR CEO Mike Carrucan.
“This purchase reflects our ongoing commitment to investing in community infrastructure that is a focal point for so many in Fernie.”
The city will continue using the current resurfacer until the new unit arrives and planning is underway for that transition.
