The Sackville Community Arena will be reducing its greenhouse gas emissions after an investment of $1.3 million from the federal government.
This was announced by MP Braedon Clark and Allan Smith, President of the Lake District Recreation Association.
With this funding, the Lake District Recreation Association will have solar panels installed on the roof of the Sackville Community Arena. The arena will also get a battery energy storage system (BESS) to provide backup power and ensure reliability during outages and peak demand periods. This project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make the facility more energy efficient by reducing operating costs. The savings will enhance the arena's sustainability and keep costs low for community users.
The Lake District Recreation Association is the volunteer group that owns and operates the Sackville Community Arena. They are dedicated to providing quality sport and leisure facilities for community use, including hockey, lacrosse, and accessible space for community events.
