Sandman Centre in need of costly upgrades

Feb 7, 2017 | 4:12 PM

KAMLOOPS — The Sandman Centre is requiring significant upgrades, which could cost the city up to $1.5 million. 

The ice plant condensers are in need of replacement, and the ice rink’s boards, glass, and lighting are not up to the Western Hockey League’s requirements. 

Those improvements must be made by 2019. 

“The condenser’s about $200,000,” said Kamloops mayor Peter Milobar, “some of the board work is $400,000, around $400,000 to do some of the seat reconfiguration, and I believe the lighting is a few hundred thousand as well. Not insignificant, probably looking at close to $1 million to $1.5 million for the Sandman Centre alone.
