History Behind the Flooring
This project was identified as a need in the 2022 Parks, Recreation & Culture Master Plan and aims to expand indoor sports opportunities for residents while making better use of community facilities. Sport Flooring was purchased through the 2022 Capital Budget with the intent of installing it during the summer months in the Kin Arena when the ice season is over.
In 2024, the flooring was installed for the first time to test the process and determine what steps were needed to ensure the plan could be successful. At the September 9, 2024 meeting, Report No. 24-109 Year-round Fieldhouse Trial Period was brought forward at a meeting and Council approved a one-year trial period for transforming the Kin Arena into a fieldhouse and using the Ovintiv Events Centre (OEC) as the replacement ice surface for the 2025-2026 ice season.
Key Benefits of the New Sports Flooring
- Expands drop-in & registered programs for team sports
- Provides more indoor activity options during the smoky summers & cold winters
- Creates new opportunities for youth & community tournaments
- Encourages better utilization of dark days at the Ovintiv Events Center (days with no events) and more community use
- Provides a “home facility” for City programs after the sale of O’Brien School
