Canada invests in improved recreation facilities in St. Malo


ST. MALO, MB, June 6, 2023 /CNW/ - Today, the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs and Minister responsible for PrairiesCan and CanNor, and Darrel Curé, Reeve of the Rural Municipality of De Salaberry, announced a federal investment of more than $3.7 million to upgrade the St. Malo Arena.

The investment announced today will enable a major renovation of the St. Malo Arena, including an expansion to increase the building's overall size by approximately 10,000 square feet. The additional multi-use spaces will be able to accommodate new recreational programming for community members all year long. Improvements to the mechanical and electrical systems that service the existing facility will help reduce the arena's energy consumption by an estimated 76.7% and greenhouse gas emissions by 120 tonnes annually.

Since opening its doors in 1974, the St. Malo Arena has been a significant part of the community, bringing people together for hockey, curling, and free skate days. The modernized facility will benefit people of all ages and provide a variety of recreational and multi-use opportunities to diverse groups of people and abilities such as summer camps, general fitness education, and farmers markets.

By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
