PROJECT SCOPE
The City of Kamloops has contracted Chandos Construction Ltd. and Yeti Refrigeration to build an extension to the Brocklehurst Arena and replace the existing ice plant. All work will be taking place at the northeastern corner of the arena, with materials and equipment using the back alley from Parkcrest Avenue for access.
We are advising residents in the area that crews will begin moving to site on Tuesday, November 12, and heavy equipment work will begin on November 19, 2024. Expected completion of the project is August 2025.
HOURS OF WORK
Construction is scheduled to occur Monday through Friday, 7:00 am–5:00 pm.
PROJECT BENEFIT
The project will seek to recycle waste heat from the ice plant into other building systems such as domestic hot water, snow melt, and pool heating.
This will reduce the building’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 48%.
RESIDENT IMPACTS
During construction, dust control measures will be in place, as heavy vibratory equipment will be used. Residents are encouraged to pack up fragile items to protect them from damage due to vibration. Residents along the northern vicinity of the arena can expect heavy truck traffic and noise disruptions from construction equipment.
USER GROUP IMPACTS
There will be minimal impact to user groups. The ice will unavailable for 2-4 weeks near the end of construction in summer 2025.
Otherwise, arena and pool operations will be unaffected.

Access to the current water park, north field, Hal Rogers Activity Centre, public washrooms, Gambles Pond, and baseball diamonds will not be impacted during phase one.
PHASE TWO IMPACTS
The water park, some adjacent green space, and a portion of the parking lot will be closed during phase two.
Access to the north field, Hal Rogers Activity Centre, public washrooms, Gambles Pond, and baseball diamonds will not be impacted during phase two.
