The Town of Assiniboia has started construction on a $15.7 million Recreation Complex. The town says it will be a hub for sports, cultural and special events. It will be a two-story building offering more than 39 hundred square metres of space. Construction is expected to be completed by next summer and be fully operational in the fall of 2022.
This new facility will replace the existing building which has been around since 1956. It will include a teen centre, full-size ice rink, walking track, multi-use sport and recreation room, a canteen, dressing rooms and a Lakota First Nation Education and Interpretive Centre.
The Government of Canada will contribute up to $6.293 million to the project and the Government of Saskatchewan will contribute up to a little over $5.2 million. The remainder is funded by the Town of Assiniboia and through fundraising efforts.
