Thistle Arena reopening soon after upgrades

The Thistle Arena will reopen soon following months of upgrades.

The City of Kenora said the facility will welcome users again next Tuesday, with regular ice scheduling resuming that day.

It also noted that the lobby renovation is still underway, which means there will be changes to how people enter the building.

Access to the arena will be through the west side entrance beside the skate park, which is at grade level for people with accessibility needs.

Access to the pool, fitness centre and Kenora Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre will remain at the far west entrance.

Meanwhile, the multipurpose rooms, senior centre and staff offices will continue to be reached through the front entrance.

Signage will be posted around the property to guide users. The city said accessible parking will remain available in three areas, with general parking unchanged for the winter.

The walking track will be open on Tuesday, but the city has added that the bridge at the north end will stay in the raised position for now because of changes to the ice resurfacer ramp.
