District gets ice time

be cleared to allow parking for
250 cars and two buses.

Canlan operates the suc-
cessful Burnaby 8-Rinks and
12 other ice sport facilities
across Canada and the United
States. Under the deal the dis-
trict retains ownership or the
laid, Cantan builds the ice
facility and gets to operate it
for 50 years, and the North
Shore Recreation Commission
rents 2,800 hours of ice time
tor the community.

“By working in partnership
with Canlan we can meet the

needs of our ever-growing
ranks of hockey plavers and
skaters in a way that minimizes
the associated costs,” said
Mayer Don Bell.

According to director of
recreation Gary Young, the
recreation commission has
$137,000 budgeted to subsi-
dize 2,000 hours of ice time
and will have to. sell the
remaining 800 hours at cost.

Doyle told the News that
the 2,800 hours rented by the
commission, a mix of carly
morning, late afternoon and
primetime hours, is just under
one third of the ice time avail-

able.

Canlan will rent the
remainder on the open market
at “prices similar to whar is
charged in) Burnaby = (8-
Rinks),” a rate slightly higher
than public facilities. “The
freight is going to be paid by
the adult hockey plavers pri-
marily, but their rate subsi-
dizes minor hockey,” said
Doyle.

He admitted the October
opening date would be “some-
what of a challenge,” but
noted his company has built
rinks on tighter deadiines.

Hockey season begins in

September, but according to
Morrison the October startup
ot the Windridge-area rink
won't be a problem.

“We're going to be a
month late bur we can jugele
around that,” said Morrison.

“Canlan are the operators
of Burnaby 8-Rinks and we'll
have to rent more ice there
until we're ready.”

Hockey organizers — are
Pleased to hear about a pro-
posed joint committee to dis-
cuss facility and operational
matters.

Membership will include
one representative from
Canlan, wo from district and
recreation commission staff
and three members of the
community.
