Arena Renovations

The Thistle Rink will be getting a bit of a face lift this year.

City council has tentatively approved a plan to install new glass and boards around the ice surface at a cost of about 180 thousand dollars.

The work was supposed to be done in 2012, but councillor Chris VanWallenghem says with Kenora hosting the Allen Cup Championshipsnext year, they wanted to fix the arena up prior to that event.

He says the improvements will include glass partitions around the players benches to provide improved security.
