The ice plant at the Kenora Rec. Center is due for some upgrades and the City of Kenora is hoping the federal and provincial governments will provide funding for the project.

This morning council held a special meeting in part to apply for Recreational Infrastrucuture funding that's being made available by the Province of Ontario and the feds.

Councillor Chris Van Wallenghem says some of the equipment is very old and inefficient.

Van Wallenghem says the payback for the projects is three to four years on energy savings alone.

The city has also applied for new energy efficient lighting for the Rec. Center.
