Why are there no elevators for the 2nd floor of the Civic Center?
The City has been working hard to identify grant funding that would allow for a retrofit of our 40-year old Recreation Complex. It is expected the full project would be in the neighbourhood of $15 million to undertake seismic, accessibility and plant modernization issues. It does not make financial sense to add an elevator to the existing building at a cost of around $200,000 since this overall upgrade will have to eventually happen and hopefully sooner than later. If we are unable to identify grant capital funding for a complex retrofit, the project would eventually need to face the test of a public referendum, much like Kitimat did to retrofit their aquatic centre and just like Terrace did to add their new ice facility.
