Grandview Arena

City Council has unanimously voted in favour of a proposal to close the Grandview and Neebing Arenas to ice bookings at set times.

Grandview Arena will be closed to daytime ice bookings on Mondays, and Neebing Arena will be closed to all weekday ice bookings, with special exceptions for specific events like tournaments.

The changes were implemented to make scheduling easier for arena staff, who under the previous model were expected to work back-to-back night shifts.

The change is expected to predominantly impact schools, but the city maintains that it has consulted with impacted schools and expects them to adapt with ease.

The scheduling changes will be implemented from October 12 onwards.
