Green upgrades to the Palais des Sports MGR C.V. Leclerc arena will improve the building's energy efficiency thanks to an investment of $1.1 million from the federal government.
This funding will improve the arena's energy efficiency by incorporating upgraded equipment and a number of renewable energy solutions which include: installing a new ceiling system that reduces heat transfer onto the ice surface; adding a new water treatment system to improve ice production; refurbishing the refrigeration system and condenser; and installing solar panels on the arena's roof.
This investment will help modernize the facility by improving its reliability, performance, and long-term sustainability as a community asset for future generations of young athletes.
