Ontario Investing Over $18 Million in new Twin-Pad Arena for Sault Ste. Marie
Ontario supporting $25 million infrastructure project
May 31, 2021
The Ontario government is investing over $18 million to support the construction of a $25 million twin-pad arena in Sault Ste. Marie.
The twin-pad arena will replace the existing single-pad arena at the McMeeken Arena, significantly increasing the square-footage and seating capacity inside the arena for the Sault Ste. Marie community.
The Ontario government is investing in this multi-purpose infrastructure project that will help to strengthen and protect communities, like Sault Ste. Marie, create jobs, and contribute to the province's long-term economic recovery.
“In the face of COVID-19, the Ontario government continues to move forward with infrastructure projects to strengthen communities and create jobs,” said the Honourable Laurie Scott, Minister of Infrastructure. “Supporting meaningful projects like this one in Sault Ste. Marie will make a positive difference to the families who live in the community, while also protecting their health and well-being today, and for many years to come.”
