Nelson’s Civic Centre arena has officially reopened following months of renovations and delays, but not without limitations.
The city says while significant seismic improvements have increased the safety of the arena, there is concern the roof system might not hold a heavy snow load.
“As a precaution, the City will closely monitor snow accumulation. If snow reaches the maximum allowable depth, the facility will be temporarily closed to ensure public safety. For safety reasons, snow removal from the roof cannot be undertaken.” said the City in a press release.
The city continues to explore alternative solutions to the issues, however, in the meantime, the arena and other tenants in the building can move back in.
