Groundbreaking for a new multi-use recreational facility in West Lincoln.
The 23.6 million dollar project will include and NHL size arena, library, gymnasium, splash pad and a future outdoor bandshell.
Mayor Doug Joyner says not everyone in the community was on board with the project but with a projected population increase to 32,000 by the year 2041 the facility is desperately needed.
City officials have previously said, the project will result in a 5.1 per cent levy increase on the town’s taxes next year and a further five per cent in 2019.
