RecPlex History |
||||
 |
||||
 In
1993 a Society was established because of a recognized need
in our community for a new recreational facility. Over 5000
signatures where gathered supporting this decision. The
society retained experts with respect to capital and
operational costs of a new facility and many alternatives
where reviewed. After many hours of research and meetings,
the Society concluded that the most affordable approach was
a public-private model.The arrival of the Kootenay Ice, WHL hockey team, as the major tenant of the RecPlex, the project was now feasible. The proposal to build an ice arena and aquatic center was the focus of a referendum, which was held in February 1999. The Cranbrook Recreational Complex is a testimonial to the vision and dedication of the Society and the thousands of hours contributed by hundreds of volunteers. |
